Won two 7f handicaps last June; would have finished closer at Chepstow two weeks ago but for running into some trouble; stamina for a mile has to be taken on trust though.

Rather disappointing since starting off for Michael Wigham with two 7f seconds in the spring but ran okay 16 days ago and can be dangerous off current mark if first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect.

Likes to get on with it and he registered the latest of his six wins when making all in five-runner Brighton handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; went off too quickly next time but his third at Chester was a solid effort two weeks ago; same mark and this is tougher, though.

Failed to get home over 1m last time; justified favouritism over C&D (good to firm) earlier in August, taking his 7f record to 331, and the runner-up gives that form a solid look; respected back in this scenario.
