Went close over C&D in July before making no mistake at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks later; respectable fourth off this mark back at Epsom last time; this race demands even more.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when comfortably seeing off three rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; a 6lb hike in the weights could leave him vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
Reliable 3yo whose two wins (from 13 races) were in very small fields, latterly when making all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a runaway win and the first time he's made the running, but he's 5lb higher today in what looks a more competitive race.

Most consistent this year having made the frame on all seven starts, including a win at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June off 5lb lower; looks sure to be thereabouts.

Got back on the scoresheet with a runaway win over two rivals at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June; held in another small-field event at Epsom last time but that was a solid front-running effort behind an improver; still unexposed at this trip and he should be in the mix again back on AW.

Easy win at Bath (1m2f, firm) when dropped into a Class 6 in May; not so good since but edging back down the weights and he holds each-way claims in this field.

Not far off career-best form when coming from the rear for clearcut success at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May but not seen to same effect on either subsequent outing; chance may depend upon others setting a strong pace.

Has gained most wins at Epsom, including in Class 4 on penultimate start; disappointing dropped back in grade at Goodwood latest; may rebound but others are more appealing in this scenario.

Incurs 5lb penalty but bids to strike while the iron's hot, having scored at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last week, taking record for current yard to 2-7; enters calculations.

Running well this year, including a 1m2f win at Windsor (good to firm), but he wouldn't look to have much in hand off his mark; more minor money perhaps his best hope.
