Dual C&D winner, latterly when getting up in the nick of time in November in a blanket finish; rather disappointing here on latest start, notwithstanding the 6f, and he has a wide draw today.

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.
