J: Alistair Rawlinson

T: B F Brookhouse

Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward.

Multiple winner and a versatile sort trip-wise; shaped as though coming to hand over 1m2f (under Bradley Furniss) at Newbury last time, a race that threw up several winners, and won't mind the step back up in distance; seems to handle most ground and is a player.

Four wins last year (1m2f-1m6f, including on turf) and this versatile sort was back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; fair efforts on last two starts (1m/1m6f) and he might not be far away.
