Form & Verdict
Won twice in April (6f/7f; blinkered, as today) and posted career-best performance when clear second here (7f, good to firm; first-time visor) in July; safely held over 5f since and not ideally drawn today but should be okay back at 6f and Jack Callan (aboard for second win) claims a useful 7lb.

In cracking form of late, winning five times last month including once at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack); has coped well with the quick turnaround when gaining those victories and not opposed easily in his current mood, despite a welter burden under a 5lb penalty.

Win number five this season, four for Jack Callan, and a 5lb penalty for last Monday's Brighton victory (7f, soft) sees him 25lb higher than for his opening success in April; evidently well suited by switchback tracks and this is a different test but he'll be popular again.
