Won a Lingfield maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Kevin Philippart De Foy early last year and defied an eight-month absence to make a successful stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; didn't back it up at Haydock (7f, good; took a keen hold) last month and needs to bounce back.

Just one win from 15 starts but has form figures of 2743152 at this track and that latest second was over C&D (good to firm; 7-2 favourite) 12 days ago; looks interesting off 1lb lower and he should get a decent tow into the race.
