Two C&D wins on good ground this summer and he ran right up to his best when third of nine here three weeks ago (good to soft); a 3lb higher mark has kicked in now but he still seems likely to run well.

Took a while to put his head in front but he is thriving now, winning a C&D handicap in June and adding an apprentice handicap over C&D (for Conor Whiteley) last week; unpenalised today and has plenty in his favour.

Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb.
