The winner of eight of his 31 starts, the latest a 6f handicap here four weeks ago (solid form); 2lb rise demands another personal best and will do well to improve on last year's close second in the corresponding race.

The winner of four 5f handicaps, most recently at Windsor in August off a 2lb lower mark; he has run creditably the last twice on soft ground that wouldn't have been his optimum, finishing 4lb behind Blind Beggar at Nottingham ten days ago; should get closer to that rival here.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Hughie Morrison

Has had a few issues at the start but he's been much more lively the last twice and his second to Venture Capital at Doncaster (5f, good; probably soft) last time was a sound effort; wouldn't have the potential of that rival though and is no banker to reverse the placings despite the revised terms.

Form & Verdict
He has some solid handicap form this year without winning, notably an Epsom third in June; not beaten far at Chester when last seen ten weeks ago; strong traveller who should get a good tow into the race; each-way claims on Polytrack debut.

Good record at this track, winning on five of his 14 visits (placed on five other occasions); third over C&D last month and latest Chelmsford effort wasn't too bad given he had to work hard early to lead and was caught wider than ideal; handicapper easing his burden; one to take seriously.
