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.

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.
