Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Has been a busy bee this year but is thriving on his schedule and overcame traffic issues to get up in the nick of time in a big field at York two weeks ago (7f, good; 4lb lower); clearly a better horse now than when he ran here on his debut on this card last year but there are some concerns as to whether this track will suit.
