Form & Verdict
His two wins have come on Tapeta, once when returning to the visor from cheekpieces (which is the case here), but he's fine on turf and arrives in decent form; is one to consider off a career-low mark.

Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023.

Boasts a good record around this time of year and ran away with a Brighton 0-55 from the front last time; that course has always suited him well and, while he's won here, he rarely goes beyond 5f; is drawn to attack but a 10lb rise will test him.

J: Cieren Fallon

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.

Dual 5f winner here, latterly off 3lb lower in June; gets away with this longer trip but arguably isn't as effective over it and there will always be risks involved at the start; no surprise to see the hood back after her latest C&D effort (didn't get the breaks).
