Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick at Ayr (7f, good to soft) last summer and despite a rise in the weights he continued to run well afterwards; well suited by a soft surface, but he has been off for 224 days and has no great record fresh.

Losing run up to 17, but has gone close a few times in that period as when beaten a neck at Ayr (7f, good) 17 days ago (acts on softer); the fourth, sixth and eighth from that race have won since while two visits here have resulted in a win over this trip and a narrow defeat over further; high on the list; stable also runs Redrosezorro.

Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way.

Billy Garritty gets on well with him (form figures together read 421125) and the likes of Kessaar Power should ensure this is truly run, which will suit this hold-up performer; he does seem more effective over 7f, though.
