Form & Verdict

Runner-up twice in a row (1m4f/1m6f, including on fast ground) before getting off the mark at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month; the drop back to 1m4f may have been against him at Catterick subsequently, when a 2l fourth of five, and he's one to consider now back up in trip.

Gained a deserved breakthrough win in 2m handicap at Musselburgh three weeks ago; up 5lb but he was well on top at the finish there so is not taken lightly back in trip.

Disappointing at Newcastle (2m, AW; won there in April) three weeks ago but he's capable of bouncing back from a poor run and won over C&D (good) two starts ago; no surprise if he's a contender.

Creditable third to Gibside at Catterick on penultimate start but last of five at Thirsk (again 1m6f on good to firm) on latest; his record of 1-18 (0-12 on turf) also leaves him with a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict

Up and down this summer and well beaten at Thirsk three weeks ago, but he won two in a row in May (2m) and was a good second at Beverley (2m) last month; this course winner is capable of a bold show if back on song.

Won two in a row last September (including over 2m and on fast ground) and had run some good races this season prior to winning at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the runner-up in that amateurs' race last time and he's just 2lb higher today; one to consider.
