Eight-time winner, with six on the Flat and two over hurdles; had some struggles during the winter but he showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton (fourth of 12) last month and is now 5lb lower than for his win at Nottingham in the autumn (1m2f); handles most ground and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Four wins for two previous yards came from the front, three round undulating courses; finished last season on a downswing, though, and sold for 1,000gns since; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh.

Prominent racer; won 1m2f handicaps at Leicester and Epsom in midsummer and ran well in his hat-trick bid here in July; weak in the market and ran poorly at Newmarket 24 days ago (raced too freely); more to prove on ground slower than good.

Form & Verdict
Has made a promising start for her new yard, not enjoying a smooth passage when third of five in 1m Brighton handicap 12 days ago; she can race off the same mark here so merits serious consideration.
