Had strong handicap form over C&D last summer and he is well handicapped on last July's second here (behind Aberama Gold); running well in small-field events this year; should give it another good go.

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Both wins at 5f, the latest at Catterick in May off 2lb lower; solid effort over 6f here last month but she took a backward step at Ripon four weeks ago; handles good to soft but might not want it any worse.

Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form.
