8lb lower than when second of 11 over C&D just under a year ago and ran well when second of eight from 1lb higher at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on his penultimate outing; however, a record of 1-32 is hard to ignore.

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.
