Ended a losing run at Carlisle (6f) in August but below that form both runs since and came last of 16 at Doncaster (6f) two days ago; needs to bounce back.

Won by 4l at Carlisle (6f, good) last month before close third under 5lb penalty at Ffos Las (6f, good); he's another 4lb higher today but could still give a good account if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

7yo who has a poor strike-rate and was underwhelming at Carlisle and Ripon on last two outings; a return to form is needed but he was runner-up three times in a row earlier in the summer, with two of those over C&D, and his last win came over C&D; might not be far away back here.

Rattled the crossbar on three occasions this summer, missing out by a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) in early July; failed to fire (only sixth) back there three weeks ago and he's probably missed his opportunity for now.
