Couldn't cash in on his being 4lb well in at Southwell latest (2m5f, good), albeit against a progressive rival; more on off his new mark and final-flight errors have been creeping in, but remains of interest.

Four wins (2m1f-2m5f) over hurdles; made an encouraging start over fences when 3l third of six at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; solid claims if building on that run with cheekpieces now fitted.

Three wins from off the pace last season (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); managed only fifth on last month's return at Haydock (3m, good to soft) but was quite badly hampered by a mid-race faller and made good headway from the rear on the final circuit; might come on for the run; interesting.

Neck success over C&D last month (good) made it four wins for the season already; 3m was too far for him back here last time, and 0-130 company excuses one other previous effort off a triple-figure official mark.

Burst back to life with 15l win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May; absent since and up 11lb, which puts him on clear career-high mark at the age of nine; also has a slight query on this forecast soft ground but Harry Skelton retains the ride; should be in the mix if ready to go.
