Can lead; he's improved for stepping up to 1m4f in small-field handicaps but he went up 6lb for a Brighton win last month and couldn't sustain the progress at Windsor since; more needed this time.

Steadily progressing in handicaps and he comfortably gained a first success in five-runner event at Brighton (1m2f) 18 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 6lb weights hike.

Ex-Irish 4yo who started off for Richard Hughes with emphatic 1m4f turf wins at Brighton (good to firm) and Epsom (good) this summer; lost out narrowly when odds-on at Kempton (1m3f, AW) two weeks ago, having been forced to make his own running in a tactical race, but remains of strong interest.

J: Tom Queally

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player.

Form & Verdict
Ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in May and is still well handicapped but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when soundly beaten at Goodwood (1m6f) in June and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon.

Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out.
