Made it four out of five for the season when winning at Sandown (1m, good to soft) in June and bounced back from below-par run there when seventh of 16 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm), where he suffered trouble in running; could be thereabouts if getting the breaks.

9st 2lb |
Made it four out of five for the season when winning at Sandown (1m, good to soft) in June; below par there since but perhaps the soft going wasn't ideal; he's just 2lb higher than two runs ago and is not written off. |

Drawn wide but it was the same story here (7f, good) in May when he won in convincing fashion; also won here (6f, soft) last year; not beaten far when mid-division at Ascot last time and he's not discounted.

Beaten at 30-100 last month and had to work hard (and hung left) to win 1m AW maiden at 2-5 latest; however, he was runner-up to class acts Economics and Lead Artist in the spring on his first two starts, and if tapping back into that promise this 3yo could play a leading role on handicap debut.

He had been expensive to follow prior to getting off the mark in a Class 6 handicap at Thirsk in June; followed that with a taking success at Galway three weeks ago, conceding first run to the runner-up and doing well to claw him back in the closing stages; he's gone up 17lb for those two wins and it will require another step forward for him to take this. |

Considering the level he reached on the Flat (peak RPR of 106) it's been an underwhelming start over hurdles and he faded rather disappointingly when beaten 21l into third at Wexford 22 days ago; but if he repeats his fourth of six in a Grade 3 last season he'd surely win this. |
