Lightly-raced 5yo who has won three of his six starts; readily justified short-priced favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when last seen in June and it is unlikely this mark is beyond him; takes on match-fit rivals here though and may come on for the run.

Well beaten on reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) 30 days ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts and his C&D form figures read 123, with all three of those runs coming in cheekpieces (which go back on).

Recent efforts more miss than hit but it was a reasonable run when fifth of 12 in a valuable Class 2 at Wolverhampton a month ago; lacks course form but he's too well handicapped to be ignored and a strong pace up front will suit his waiting tactics.
