These big-field 6f handicaps suit him down to the ground, and having finished fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (good to soft) and the Portland at Doncaster (extended 5f, good) he led home 24 rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last September; mostly in good form at Meydan this year but he's 10lb higher than at Ayr which is a big burden to carry.

Several good efforts in defeat against top 6f handicappers this year but he never shifted much in the weights and the return to soft ground may have made the difference when he made nearly all to win the Ayr Gold Cup recently; serious rain would bring him into the reckoning.

Made all on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February; well beaten at Southwell (7f, AW) next time and merely mid-division in big field at York 12 days ago (7f, good to soft), but he suffered early interference last time and should be capable of better; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Versatile regards ground; six wins include two here (7f/5f) and he was second in this race last year; yet to get going this term but there was the faintest hint he might be on the way back at Chester (5f) last time and maybe the return to this trip can help; mark fine.

Consecutive 6f fast-ground wins in Leicester seller and Lingfield novice last July; well beaten in York nursery later that month and 2yo campaign ended there; however, he reappeared with close second in Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and could be in the mix.
