Form & Verdict
A maiden after seven runs but was placed over 7f in his first two handicaps (wore cheekpieces) and had an excuse when only sixth over 1m last time (badly hampered; wore blinkers); has cheekpieces back on here; probably won't be far away.

Came good at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month, on eighth run, and did very well to go close on soft ground there ten days ago, having been badly hampered; back in action before 1lb rise takes effect; likely contender.

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.

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.

Won this race last year and he recorded his fourth C&D win when scoring on soft last month; no joy under a penalty (good) last time but that may have come too soon and he's 3lb lower here on this return to slow ground; dangerous if he can bounce back.
