Won at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and was only beaten a head here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago with a yawning gap back to the rest; 4lb rise not the end of the world and good to soft ground wouldn't be a problem, but another furlong may have been preferable.

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.
