Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist.

Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims.

Slowly into stride but still finished second to subsequent prolific winner in similar event over C&D around this time last year; blew the start again when beaten a head at Leicester (1m2f, also good to firm) three weeks later; still not perfected the art of starting but mark is reduced after AW spell and he's dangerous back on turf if ready after a break.
