T: Martin Keighley

Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor.

Dictated pace when scoring at Southwell (2m) in June but came in a well-held third of four off 9lb higher mark in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; needs to bounce back.

Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly.

Form & Verdict
Returned from spell in Germany with an encouraging stable debut at Chepstow last month, where he travelled strongly in rear before keeping on steadily for third; remains well handicapped and will be dangerous if that recent outing brought him on.

Placed three consecutive times in March-May (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft) and has claims if judged on that form but didn't fire when well-held third of four on latest outing and also disappointed on only previous visit to Cartmel; usually ridden patiently; others appeal more.

Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again.

In and out since coming to Britain from France, but he shaped quite well when fifth of nine over C&D in November (good to soft; Beau Balko second) and he's now 7lb lower; shaped better than the bare result (made a bad mistake) when fourth of seven at Stratford 12 days ago; needs to put everything together but first-time cheekpieces and a returning tongue-strap could help.
