Form & Verdict
Stable enjoying a fine summer and this one has played his part, winning his last two; was given a canny ride from the front when holding on in a bunch finish last time and will need to improve on that if he's to defy a 3lb rise.

Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form.

Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Has often pulled hard but was more amenable in second-time cheekpieces, back down from 1m4f, when winning easily at Ayr 12 days ago; is 3lb well-in under the penalty and having Fred Daly take 7lb off won't hurt; a lot will hinge on how he settles early.

Hard to judge him on his handicap debut (messy, small-field Redcar affair behind Rocket Warrior) and tonight's stiffer 1m2f should suit; no surprise at all were he up to winning this.
