This step up in trip is not sure to suit but he arrived late on the scene to win handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) on his first two outings this year and came from last in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, finishing 12th of 30 overall but second of those who had raced far side; probably remains in form.

T: George Margarson

Off the mark when winning over this C&D in April off 4lb lower; raced too freely over 1m2f at Newmarket in May and he was well held on the July Course last month; return to this track may help.
