Form & Verdict
1m2f hat-trick off significantly lower marks on turf (good to soft/good) last summer; some subsequent AW performances have seen his peak ratings, whereas he's been well beaten when on turf this year; stays 1m4f on AW but has never been much beyond 1m2f on turf; cheekpieces are enlisted.

Wore cheekpieces last six starts, winning in late summer last year on first two occasions; a late effort took him from last to fifth of 14 when he made a good reappearance here (1m4f, good to firm) last month but venturing beyond an extended 1m4f for first time provides a huge question mark.

Can front-run; his May win was in a two-runner novice; better form in handicaps since, notably in second of 13 at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f) 13 days ago when he ran on well after traffic problems; good to firm is probably okay; up 4lb but one to note.

Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths.

Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited.

Form & Verdict
Short-headed at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) in June and went one better in good style at York (1m4f, good to firm) in July; well below form on latest start but that was on soft ground, which may provide the reason; in the mix if bouncing straight back with today's surface.

Five-time winner over 1m2f on AW for Mick Appleby; second of three behind a much more highly rated rival in a Gowran conditions event (9.5f, good) on stable debut last month but form dipped when back on AW two weeks ago; plenty of turf form gives him a place chance but others bring stronger cases and this is only his second run beyond 10.5f.
