Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling.

6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm).

2-2 since joining Ruth Carr, winning 5f handicaps at Thirsk last month and at Ripon last week; penalty for the latest small-field success demands more and a double-figure stall isn't ideal either.

Made all when winning off this mark on his comeback over C&D in the spring; bounced back from a poor one at Newmarket (doesn't seem to like it there) when not beaten far last time and there's no obvious reason he won't go well again.
