1-15 but has been running well since returning from seven months off in May, including when second of ten in his only previous start down at this level; beaten just over a length into second of six in a 0-55 handicap over C&D nine days ago and that reads well in this company.

All wins at 6f, including on AW at Kempton at start of career; in top form with pair of victories at Chepstow in June and showed he's effective over 7f when collared on the line at Salisbury under Imogen Mathias last month; stamina an obvious worry tackling 1m for the first time on his 51st start but he might get away with it round here.

All wins over 6f, on good to firm and good ground, the last two at Chepstow in June; has something to prove back over 7f, let alone on a stiff track like this, but he's still on a much-reduced mark and he might get away with this trip in an uncompetitive race.

Racing mainly over 6f since emphatic C&D win on soft ground just over a year ago and absent since struggling over 1m on heavy ground in October; resumes on a good mark but would make much more appeal on a slower surface (particularly over this trip); blinkers the headgear of choice today.
