Front-runs; all five wins at 5f, including on heavy; useful 6f form when runner-up in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month, albeit helped by racing against the stands' rail; dropped right out in the Portland at Doncaster since and this is also highly competitive; yard has won two of the last seven runnings.

He has finished runner-up twice this season, including at Redcar (5f, good) off 4lb higher, but he failed to justify support when seventh at Beverley three weeks ago; career-low mark but his modest strike-rate (2-27) tempers confidence and there's a soft-ground query too.
