Lightly raced gelding who hasn't progressed from his 5f 2yo success, latterly in two races at about 7f this season for new yard; enough to prove upped further in trip.

Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted.

Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo.

Made it 2-28 when successful at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) in May and although a fair fourth of eight back there 12 days ago (Coverbridge third), it does suggest he needs a bit more off this mark.

Last month's C&D success (good to firm) took his record in handicaps here to 3241; no surprise were he to reverse previous 1m2f course placings with Myna despite a 4lb re-raise, and Liam Wright can claim more here than in that apprentice race last time; player.
