Had a good time of it last year with four wins, the latest over C&D in August off 8lb higher mark; form fizzled out but showed he was on the way back when runner-up here (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; undeniably well handicapped and one to be interested in.

Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right.
