Off the mark at the fifth attempt on the Flat when winning heavy-ground 1m5f Gowran handicap when last seen back in April, despite racing keenly up with the pace (second won next time); lightly raced 5yo runs well fresh but must overcome 6lb rise; player.

T: Tom McGuinness

Has done most of his winning on the Flat in Britain, and has found a new lease of life over hurdles at his local track last month, following up a good second in a 2m1f handicap hurdle in early July by getting up on the line to land a similar handicap over the same trip three weeks later; up 6lb for those two efforts is far from excessive and he can be thereabouts once more with the step up in trip unlikely to be an issue.
