Form & Verdict
Won his maiden over C&D but 5f has always been his best trip; has often been inclined to hang left this year and, while he's coming down the weights quickly, he's on the downgrade and hasn't won a handicap in a long time.

Form & Verdict
C&D win last September came off a 6lb lower mark; closely matched with Tinto on Thirsk running in early summer, back from two months off following a wind operation, and should do better than when bombing in first-time headgear latest.

Two runs at the track have seen him in the money, placed in last season's Great St Wilfrid; good effort to win at Thirsk last month but he turned in a lacklustre effort at York's Dante meeting; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run.

A wind operation last summer appears to have had a positive effect and he recorded his best RPR to date when winning a ten-runner Class 4 handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 11 days ago; has a 4lb higher mark and stronger opposition to contend with this time.

Form & Verdict
Won this last year off a 3lb lower mark in first-time cheekpieces; lacks consistency now, which is hardly surprising at his age, and below par back in headgear last time, but he's capable of winning again for in-form yard.

Two placed efforts on turf last month and a lesser York run came in a hot race; never featured in a 6f handicap back at York last week and he needs a revival but that's not impossible.

Ninth of 13 here (5f, good) a fortnight ago but that wasn't a bad run in a higher grade than this; in good form previously, going close at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) then third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm), and the step back up to 6f is worth a go; could give a good account.
