T: George Boughey

Failed to get home over 1m last time; justified favouritism over C&D (good to firm) earlier in August, taking his 7f record to 331, and the runner-up gives that form a solid look; respected back in this scenario.

Excuses with one thing and another before getting it together off a 5lb lower mark last time; that's been boosted by the runner-up going in since and he remains open to improvement, so is high on the shortlist.

Down the field on all four starts for new stable this season (6f-7f) and his tendency to race too freely remains a concern, but lurks on a dangerous mark now and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
