Form & Verdict
Four staying wins on Polytrack; has been in fine form on turf of late, winning by a wide margin at Ffos Las (1m6f) in June followed by a cosy, if narrow, success there (2m) in July; has won off higher marks than today's earlier in career and looks sure to go well in his current form.

J: Jack Callan

T: Hughie Morrison

Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider.

Turf wins at 1m6f (good to soft) and 2m (good); quite well treated now and his AW reappearance was encouraging but he didn't fare so well back on turf in June and it's two years since he was risked on good to firm ground.

Both wins on turf have been at Ffos Las (1m6f/2m; good to soft/good); now 2lb lower than that latest success and returned from a break with a solid effort at Southwell (2m, AW) 34 days ago; claims.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Godolphin; hinted at better to come on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f; second run for yard) in July and he romped away over 1m6f on Southwell AW ten days ago; due an 11lb rise so 5lb well in under a penalty; looks very likely to cope with this extra distance; obvious chance.

1m6f and 2m wins on the AW last season and by clear daylight; excellent third at Newmarket (1m4f) after a break and it wasn't a bad run at Sandown (1m6f) where he hung in the closing stages; could be a factor if bringing his best game.

His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims.

J: Marco Ghiani

Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return.

Form & Verdict
Two heavy defeats either side of a promising fourth of seven on the turf course here (about 1m3f) in July, on yard debut; has potential for handicaps but in-form rivals stand in his way.
