A four-time scorer over 8.5f here (including twice in May); recorded another very good effort with second of six to Tattie Bogle over C&D 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb.

Four of his five wins have been here over 8.5f (good to soft/good to firm), the most recent last month off 4lb lower, and he was runner-up to This Farh over C&D next time; well held at Chester (7.5f, soft) 11 days ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track.
