J: Rhys Elliott

T: Sam England

Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well over C&D (good to firm) in July triggered a career-high mark off which he's struggled the last twice; only 1lb lower here and others are preferred again.

Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected.

Maiden winner for previous yard; not particularly solid on his handicap form this term for new stable (40-1 last time) but is the type to bear in mind if there's market support.

Yet to win for this stable but he posted two good runner-up efforts at Pontefract (1m, good) and Hamilton (8.5f, good) in June/July; below that level in both starts since and has a tongue-tie added for his AW debut.

Four wins at about 1m (all on good ground), seen to best advantage with the stiff test at Salisbury in May; has more to prove on what he's shown since and although he might be better for having time off since last seen in July, this easy 1m asks a question.

A stout stayer over 1m and Salisbury's stiff test suited him in May (good) where he overcame trouble in running to lead near the line; has had excuses since but he has a good run in him if this is truly run.
