Well beaten most often than not last season but he won over C&D (good to soft) last June on his sole previous course visit and reappears off the same mark today; not ruled out now back here.

Inconsistent for new yard this year but won at Catterick in June and fair fourth at Thirsk last time; raced at Newcastle twice for former yard and those visits yielded his top two career RPRs; interesting now back here.

C&D winner in April off 3lb lower; placed in three of his last four visits to the track, including last time when meeting some trouble over 1f out wasn't ideal; didn't look straightforward when in the clear though and he's taking on stronger opposition today.

Best effort for new connections when third of nine in a fillies' handicap at Carlisle 18 days ago (5f, good to soft); easy 6f should be in range but others are still more persuasive for win purposes.

Looks competitively weighted, having won off this mark at Ripon in July; however, form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time; hard to support with confidence.

Both wins at 5f, the latest here in July off 1lb lower; saddle slipped last time so that run can be ignored but her previous course flop also needs excusing; down in class but she has more to prove back at 6f.

Of interest on his best form, including for new yard at Southwell in December; no show in two turf runs back from a break and a sight of some market support would be preferable before getting involved.

Form & Verdict
Down the field on last three starts, latest his recent reappearance here; a major turnaround is needed but he's a five-time C&D winner, including three times last season (good to firm-good to soft), and could prove a different proposition with that run behind him.
