Record is only 1-19 but the success, at Nottingham, is among his recent form and puts him 1-1 under Oisin Murphy; ran creditably a few days later and remains a consistent sort; rested over five weeks since that last run; solid claims.

All four wins have been between 6f-8.5f on AW; has been below his best at York on last two starts and was reported to have run flat last time; drops back to a more suitable trip but he's still 4lb higher than for his last success; may be best watched until he returns to AW.

Thoroughly exposed 5yo who was in fair form until here last time when never involved from off the pace; has never won off this high a mark but what does bode well is that his last three wins have come in amateur races under Henry Callan who is back aboard for the first time since his last win in April; the cheekpieces also return after going in a new hood last time.

His last three wins have come in amateur riders' races, the latest at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), and he shaped when staying on for third at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago as though this trip, over which he's unraced, may be within range; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces.
