Secured the latest of his eight wins when scoring over C&D (good) in May; last four form figures don't really do him justice, including his sixth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood in July, and when beaten less than 3l on the July course four weeks ago; down 2lb and a good show would come as no surprise.

He has turned in a string of good runs since joining Fionn McSharry; only fifth on his last two starts but dropped 2lb as a result and he has races in him off this sort of mark; Oisin Murphy booked; contender.

Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark.
