Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good) this summer and went very close at Hamilton (1m, heavy) last month; endured a torrid passage when mid-division at Redcar (1m, good) last time and he's firmly in calculations.

Has a patchy profile and he's been well in last two runs (1m2f), but both wins have been at this trip and latest was over C&D (good) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in this mix on this drop back in trip and grade; cheekpieces added.

Headstrong sort but he's taken his form up a notch since cheekpieces went on, scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June before beaten a nose when a clear second at Doncaster (1m) since having hung badly left in front; not the easiest of rides but a player once more here.

Three wins include one at this track over 1m and in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m) in June; solid efforts on his last couple of outings, the penultimate when runner-up over this C&D, and once again has each-way claims, although ground slower than good would pose a question mark.

Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f.

Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider.
