Form & Verdict
Losing run up to 18 and has to put a poor recent effort at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) behind him, but he often makes the running and could enjoy the run of the race if again ridden positively; visor removed after one use.

Three wins including an emphatic success at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) on his 4yo reappearance, but he has plenty to prove having been beaten a very long way on his return from almost 21 months off at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) 13 days ago.

Has been a bit up and down since returning from a mammoth absence in April, but his second of five at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) 12 days ago was handsomly franked by the winner at Newmarket on Saturday; has won over this far and a major player.

Both wins have been on AW (latest in March) and her only run at this track did not go well, when favourite over 1m6f on heavy on final start last term; close second with first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood (2m, good) on latest outing, however, is a notable positive.
