Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f.

Three wins (7f-1m) and three second-place finishes (6f-1m) at Yarmouth last season; not hit the same heights this time round and although soft ground was a valid excuse last time, he needs a full revival to take this.

Better than ever this term; doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; back in form when fourth at Goodwood last month and Jack Callan gets on well with him; yard going well; player.
