Hit-and-miss profile but he's on a reduced mark and ran well on the drop to 6f when third at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; today's stiffer test at the trip should suit; each-way claims.

Looked as good as ever when second of nine at Catterick (6f, good) on his reappearance in April but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; conditions no problem and he's on a manageable mark but this is a warm race in which to try to bounce back.

Tends to lead and he made all to beat 18 rivals in this race (good to firm) 12 months ago; bubbling under this season, beaten off only late on at Doncaster last Friday; won't mind if rain softens the ground (used to be considered a mud-lover); should make a bold bid for a repeat success.
