Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie for new stable this summer, most notably when coming from off the pace for convincing C&D (good) success; not quite as good at Stratford last time and not sure to be suited by rain but remains very much of interest.

Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m) in May and has continued in good form, scuppered by a late blunder when third of four in 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen in July; that form has been franked so this front-runner can go well again off the same mark.
