Low-key effort in a competitive 7f handicap at Glorious Goodwood last time but he'd been making good progress beforehand and could get back on track in these calmer waters; stays 1m and handles any ground.

Made it three wins from last six runs (7f/1m, soft-good to firm) when scoring at Ripon last Saturday; had just a head to spare and is in a tougher race today, but he knows how to get the job done; can't be ruled out.

Loves it around here, winning this race in 2021 and 2022, and he's added another two C&D wins to his tally this summer; couldn't fend off On The River here last month but still ran well and it was a similar story when a fair third at Pontefract ten days ago; each-way shout.

Front-runner who made it two wins for the season when scoring at Ripon (1m, good) last month and beaten just a head there last time; he has an excellent record at Ripon but has run well elsewhere this season (including on good to firm; and won over C&D in 2020); can make another bold bid.
