Scored over 7f here in June and doubled his tally for the season in 6f Wolverhampton claimer in July; last of seven back in handicap company at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago so has a bit to prove in a change of headgear.

Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack.

The forecast rain will be less of a bother to him than many; however, the latest of two narrow turf wins over 6f, at Chester in August, took him to a career-high mark which proved a tough pill to swallow in the Portland at Doncaster last week; looks up against it from 2lb higher this time.
