Form & Verdict
Second over C&D (good to firm) in May and he got off the mark on turf at the 18th attempt when returning to form at Bath (1m6f, soft) recently; did it with authority and he can be in the shake-up off this 5lb higher mark if backing up that latest performance.

Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed.
