His last three wins have been over 2m on AW and latest was off 3lb higher last August; had some ups and downs since but he's reached the frame in his last two starts including when runner-up over C&D in April; has another change of headgear and he's respected after a short break.

Ran his best race since returning from a mammoth absence last summer when second of ten at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in September; his record fresh suggests his recent reappearance at the same track would have been needed; respected back down to a 0-55.

J: Alec Voikhansky

T: Kevin Frost

Resumed winning ways, always doing enough to fend off the odds-on favourite (winner since), in a similar contest at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) latest; 5lb higher and back up in trip, neither of which represent a barrier to further success, but he mightn't want too much rain to fall.

Done most racing over further, both before and since a near two-year absence; found his level again now and boasts a decent record in 0-55 company but will want a good test over this trip, even round a stiff course; still one to consider each-way.

Form & Verdict
Two of his four wins have come here, including one over this trip; beaten a long way at Pontefract (2m6f, good) 12 days ago but he is much better on the AW and his previous third of seven here (1m6f) was encouraging; 9lb below his last winning mark and a player with a hood given a go.
