Most consistent sprinter, scoring over C&D earlier in season and battled on well to land Rockingham Handicap (5f) in June; subsequently third of 20 to Sondad in Scurry over further and good third to Bear On The Run over C&D latest; model of consistency but could be vulnerable off likely strong pace and 4lb out of handicap.

Succession of good runs over various sprint trips here this year; won the Rockingham in June and good second over that 5f distance last time; previously, had four of these behind when third in the Scurry over an extended 6f, which was a bit too far.

Has been in the form of his life this season; won over 6f here on seasonal return and bagged another victory in a C&D premier handicap in June despite being 3lb out of the weights; didn't quite see out the 6.5f trip of the Scurry handicap here last month, but it was still a blinding run to finish third; went too quick at Cork last time; definite chance.
