Made it three wins for the year when scoring in a big field at Haydock a fortnight ago (6f, good; unraced on fast ground); from out of the handicap he's 7lb higher today and drops back in trip, but he travelled well last time and this progressive 4yo is entitled to respect. |

Only 1lb higher than for his win in a valuable 6f handicap at Kempton in November; ran well for second at Chelmsford on his penultimate start and easy to strike a line through his latest 7f run here when new tactics were deployed; style of racing means he needs a strong pace but that's quite possible here and he needs serious consideration. |
