Hasn't won on turf for more than three years but he's run plenty of good races this season including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in May and close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't made an impact in last two runs but this drop back in trip is a positive and he's in the mix.

Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid.

Had a BHA rating in the high 80s in his pomp for Richard Fahey; justified strong favouritism in determined style at Leicester on his stable debut a fortnight ago (7f, good to firm); remains well treated up 3lb and a tongue-tie now goes on.

In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue.

C&D winner in January, when 12lb lower; followed up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta); went close from this mark when fourth back there (8.5f) on his penultimate start; respectable second at Lingfield latest but if back in the form of that penultimate effort, he'd have strong claims.

Two Tapeta wins in January, over 1m and 7f, and better form when a close fourth (off this mark) at Wolverhampton 11 days ago (8.6f); the second and third there have both won since and he is a solid contender back down into a Class 6.

Front-runner whose most recent win was at Kempton (1m, AW) last October off 1lb lower; not so good in his only four races since; absent 187 days before his last of 12 at Sandown four weeks ago, so he's a touch speculative this time.
