Form & Verdict
Progressed well as a 3yo and the good work continued on AW last November, following a stylish Kempton handicap win with a cosy Listed success at Lingfield (both 6f); ran right up to his best when third in a strong Group 3 at Newcastle in June; strong traveller who is greatly respected back in a handicap despite his lofty rating.

Form & Verdict
Hit a hot spell this time last season, winning at York before enjoying his finest hour in the Stewards' Cup, sluicing through the Goodwood mud off a 5lb higher mark; 0-8 this year but there's still plenty of ability intact and he wasn't far behind a rapid improver at Ayr last time; has won over C&D in the past and handicapped to go well, for all a lower draw would have been preferable.
