Ended a losing run when getting on top late in a small-field C&D handicap a fortnight ago (soft; second has won since); not so good at Doncaster last week but no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run.

Some good runs in defeat this April-July and he's well treated on that form; however, this 8yo wasn't performing at the same level in the second half of the summer and needs to raise his game back from a two-month break.

Course regular who has been placed in all five visits here this season (also ran well at Thirsk in April); made a bold bid from the front in first-time blinkers eight days ago but he's now 3lb higher and he has the widest stall to deal with too.

Two C&D wins in 2022; no success since but he's tumbled down the weights and there was more promise in his latest third behind King Of Tonga here two weeks ago; should make a bold bid.
