Form & Verdict
7f turf win in June; two good recent runs over 1m, responding well to the first-time visor at Kempton last week when coming home one length to the good in a 13-runner event; 1lb wrong under a penalty but recent solid form is sparse here and he has to be high on the list.

Has shown promise at up to 7f, including when well backed at Southwell on his penultimate start; low-key run at Kempton four weeks ago, but a 3lb drop enables him to contest 0-55 company and 1m could be in range; betting to guide.
