Form & Verdict
Probably acts on good to soft; made all when off the mark at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in April and showed improved form when coming from towards the rear to win in fine style at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) on latest outing; the latter was a step up in trip and, although he's now 8lb higher, he may have more to give at around 1m4f.

3yo who built upon previous handicap promise when upped in trip and winning at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month, and he followed up at Haydock (11.6f, good to soft); clearly progressive and firmly in calculations.

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft.

Veteran who acts on any ground; bit of a mixed record this year but on his game at a track which suits him well when landing a Leicester apprentice event (1m2f, heavy) under Tom Kiely-Marshall ten days ago; escapes a penalty and his jockey can use his 5lb allowance in this race race so his form claims are obvious.
