Form & Verdict
Good record at the track and he ran well for third over C&D two weeks ago (heavy ground; Blind Beggar second); disappointed at Doncaster last Friday but the return to both Nottingham and 5f will help.

Front-runner; winner of two of his four starts here, both at 5f although he was worn down only late over C&D last January; similar story at Wolverhampton recently (off 2lb lower) and although he has the rail draw he might be vulnerable late on again.

Better known for his 5f exploits and he tired late on over this trip at Kempton 12 days ago; well drawn to attack but he could help set things up for a finisher.

Ran creditably on soft ground at Yarmouth last week, especially in light of how freely he raced, but he looks a better horse on a sound surface; Rossa Ryan booked but others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Not the force of old but retains ability and he comes here on the back of a good run on heavy ground at Leicester three weeks ago; races off the same mark and drying ground certainly won't inconvenience him; one to consider.

His Hamilton second in August hasn't proven to be a springboard to better things; now 3lb lower and conditions won't be an excuse but others look safer for win purposes; this is at least a drop in class.
