Multiple AW wins include three over C&D; losing run on sand goes back nearly a year but things didn't go his way when returned to Polytrack 20 days ago and he can't be dismissed at this level off a manageable mark.

Winless in 2023 but there's been no holding him since winning a classified event in June and he answered the call promptly when making it four wins from his last five starts, on Chelmsford Polytrack (6f) 24 days ago; up 6lb and in grade but hard to be sure the handicapper has caught up.

Hard to weigh up on lesser turf efforts for new yard of late and he has an awkward draw but temptingly weighted both on C&D wins in 2022 and his Tapeta form early in 2024; one to consider.

Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Useful 3yo who's come back to form since dropped to 5f on turf, minus the blinkers, following up his Lingfield win off 3lb lower with a solid effort at Newbury; needs considering but wants a proper test at this trip and a bigger field would have helped.

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade.
