Mostly respectable form in 1m handicaps this season and it was a muddling Class 4 over 1m3f in which he couldn't get seriously involved at Kempton 12 days ago; 1m2f might be ideal; respected.

Largely consistent in headgear this year and came good with clearcut success at Epsom (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago, his 12th start; probably needs another career best but is evidently in very good nick.

Arrives in good form, having won with a bit in hand at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate start then gone close at Lingfield (1m1f, good) latest; up another 2lb but he's a major contender.

Moderate profile but there was some encouragement in his stable debut at Windsor (1m, good; first-time cheekpieces) latest, which was a marginal career best; needs to kick on from that.
