Front-runs; a winner on good to soft when much lower in the weights but his recent improved form since, for a C&D win before an excellent second of 18 here, has come on good and good to firm; however, he may just be improving anyway and not be ground dependent; stout effort expected if that's the case; yard won this in 2020.

J: Neil Callan

T: Tom Tate

Three heavy defeats at big prices in 6f handicaps at York this summer; easy to write off this 11yo on that evidence but he comes alive at Newmarket (six wins and three placed efforts from 14 visits) and he is 9lb lower than when a close third behind Spring Bloom and Dashing Dick in this race last year; revival would come as no surprise.

On the shelf for 14 months but he retains all his ability and had already won three times this year before finishing a close fifth of 18 over C&D (good to firm; slightly checked) 13 days ago; on the premises.

Four 6f wins on Tapeta since September; 0-11 on turf but a second of 20 to Ingleby Archie over C&D (good) in May shows he can compete at this level; not so good over 7f since but of more interest back at 6f.
