T: Martin Dunne

Kept to 6f since joining this yard and he scored on the July course (good to firm) last month; good efforts on his next three starts include a fine second in Class 2 Ascot handicap (Northcliff a head behind) under Toby Moore a fortnight ago; was 6lb out of the weights that day and effectively just 1lb higher this time; considered.

Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but his turn looks near, having finished second at Ascot (good to firm) the last twice; successful on both Newmarket tracks and the way he races suggests this drop back to 6f is worth exploring; respected.

In top form with 6f wins on last two starts, at Newmarket and Ascot, but they were both on good to firm and it's rare to see him on ground slower than good; needs new skills today but this mark shouldn't be beyond him, despite being 2lb badly in under penalty.
