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.

Caught wide when down the field at Lingfield in February on last Flat start and when well beaten over hurdles on his last two runs he was contesting hot 4yo races; on a competitive mark on last summer's Flat form and he was a Listed hurdle runner-up in October; not ruled out back in this code.

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.

Not the force of old (one-time useful Flat handicapper) but has made the frame in two Stratford events since rejoining Shark Hanlon, albeit proved no match for a Skelton-trained 11-10 favourite last time; likely to be a similar story today.
