Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form.

Prominent racer; three wins here in the first half of the year (5f, 6f and 7f); held off a mark in the mid 60s on his last two starts; perhaps a shade high in the weights but well drawn and should give it a good go.
