Consistent in handicaps, including run out of things only late on when third over the extended 7f here (good) in May; best run when narrowly denied in big-field York handicap (good) four weeks ago; that form is solid so a 3lb nudge from the handicapper may not prevent another prominent showing.

Just one win from eight goes but he's assembling a solid CV, run out of things only late on when third over the extended 7f at Chester last time; dropping back to a bare 7f should suit; clear each-way prospects.

Won with something to spare on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in November and fair fourth there (7f) three weeks ago, following a 9lb rise; he needs to prove his current mark isn't beyond him but further improvement can't be ruled out.
