Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark.

Turf winner at 6f and 1m as a 3yo; had a low-key spell in midsummer but he recaptured form off a reduced mark when runner-up at Redcar (7f) in September and soft ground perhaps counted against him since; unexposed on AW and he's weighted to go well on his best C&D form last year.

His form can be up and down but this front-runner got off the mark at the 15th attempt in a Catterick classified (7f, good) in August, and he returned to winning ways in a recent handicap over this C&D (good to soft); did it nicely last time from Ahamoment and a 5lb rise may not stop him.
