Form & Verdict
Both wins on AW and losing run is up to 16, but he's finished runner-up in three of his last four starts including over C&D last time; that was behind Silver Trumpet but he has a big swing in the weights with that rival and should go well again.

Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark.

Unexposed 4yo who has shown clear promise in three runs this summer, including a close second in Redcar maiden (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago; should have more to offer now switched to handicapping and he needs a close look.

Flourished when switched to heavy and soft ground last autumn, winning over 6f and 7f; retains ability as a 3yo but he might have run better at Ayr last month when back on soft ground (first-time visor now discarded) and hard to depend on a turnaround.

Likes testing ground as he showed when winning nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) a year ago; has run with credit a couple of times in a light campaign this year, but still 4lb above his last winning mark; probably needs the new visor to make a difference.

C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton.

Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence.

Form & Verdict
Added to his three wins last year when justifying favouritism in good style over C&D (good) ten days ago; up 9lb but he hit a personal best with that emphatic success and still looks feasibly treated; big player for yard that has won this race three times in recent years.
