Can be hard to predict but he's a five-time winner after his narrow C&D success here recently (led late on); every chance at these weights with something similar.

Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when fifth of seven at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month and is now back on same mark as when dead-heating at 80-1 at Chelmsford in the autumn but others have more convincing profiles.

Form & Verdict
Prominent-racer; did well for this yard last year, winning at Thirsk in May and running several good races in defeat, notably when best of the stands' rail group in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon; 1lb lower today and a big run could be forthcoming.

Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list.

8yo who was knocking on the door prior to making all in fine style at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 4lb higher in a tougher race today, but is clearly in good heart and is a two-time winner at Thirsk; could go well.

Highly tried after his Ayr win (6f, good to firm) 13 months ago, placed in a Newbury Listed event before sixth of nine in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood; reappeared with a heavy defeat in a Listed race at Newmarket in May and he couldn't make an impact when switched to a handicap at Salisbury (first run since gelded) last month; still unexposed but has bit to prove and needs to raise his game with cheekpieces added.
