Form & Verdict
Down the field on nursery debut at Ripon (6f, good) last month and now 0-5, but he was runner-up over this C&D (soft) in June on his second start and may well be back on a slow surface this afternoon; interesting if so.

Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations.

Both his wins have come on soft ground but he ran a cracker on good ground over C&D last week (cheekpieces first time), keeping on well behind an in-form sprinter; 1lb higher today but still a strong contender, especially with some rain in the forecast.

Encouraging fourth at Ayr (5f, good) in April on second starts, but soundly beaten on last month's nursery debut at Ripon (6f, good) and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.

Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement.

Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again.
