Mostly campaigned on AW but he's now 2-9 on turf having landed C&D classified (good to firm) in June and Lingfield handicap (7f, good) last Tuesday; took advantage of a golden highway that day but did well to pick his way through from the rear and he's respected under a 5lb penalty (1lb well in).

T: Jim & Suzi Best

In good form in the depths of winter, winning two 7f handicaps at Chelmsford; edging back down the weights after some below-par runs but returning to 5f, even in a race that is highly likely to be run at a fast pace, is unlikely to revive his fortutnes.

In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again.
