Three wins for current stable, most recently when sweeping through with a strong late run at Doncaster 15 days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb rise in a deeper race might find him out.

Took a while to come to the boil this season but he's bubbling away nicely now, following two seconds with an easy win at Hamilton 11 days ago (6f, good to firm); up 7lb but foolish to discount.

Form & Verdict

Not as prolific as you would like for one of his ability but he's still capable on his day, as when winning at Wetherby in April (7f) and when second at Doncaster two weeks ago (6f); his best course form has come at 7f but Harry Davies takes off a valuable 5lb and he shouldn't be discounted.

His two wins for Hugo Palmer came over 1m; slow start for new connections but he has dropped in the weights and returned to form with a close, front-running third at Ayr three weeks ago (6f, good); unexposed as a sprinter and should give it another good go.

Not found his very best form this season but latest sixth at Chester, albeit from stall 1, was a bit more encouraging; down in the weights and does have a C&D win on his CV.
