Form & Verdict

Few miles on the clock for a 4yo and he has regularly run well in handicaps from 1m2f to 1m5f (placed in six of his seven starts in handicaps); absent since May but he's returning at a realistic level and should make a bold bid.

Five AW wins, the latest off 1lb lower at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March; consistent spell prior to a lesser show on latest start, but it's the lack of impact in his nine turf races (latest last June) which is the chief worry.

Not the easiest to win with but he kept on well to get the better of the reopposing Tafsir at Ayr in June (well behind her at Musselburgh when last seen in August); 15lb better off with that rival today and he's fully effective on Tapeta; not ruled out.
