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.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Michael Bell

Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance.

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.

Off the mark in a four-runner novice at Lingfield in May and has remained in form kept to 1m2f, running-on fourth at Newmarket latest; gives the impression this combination of longer distance and first-time headgear could suit.
