Given a wind operation in May and had two wins at Yarmouth from four starts since, dominant in a 6f handicap on first occasion and getting up in the final strides over 5f latest; there is more for him to prove on softer than good (last seen on it four starts back) but he's a rising force.

Possibly not without quirks but he's been in good form since a wind operation, dominant in a 6f handicap here last month before running well at Doncaster the following week; has plenty of speed and dropping to 5f should suit, especially in a race where he could get a nice tow into things; likely capable of much better. |

Eight turf wins, including two last year, but close third at Yarmouth in April has been easily his best show this season; 8lb below his last winning mark, with AW an excuse last time, but others are preferred.

Three wins and a close third in eight starts over C&D and well handicapped back at his favourite course, having come back to form at Leicester last week (clear second to an improver); has to be considered. |

A rare winner these days and he has not scored this season but runner-up at Beverley on two of his last three starts, beaten a neck ten days ago on latest; they were on good to firm and his record on softer than good in the last two campaigns casts some doubts.

Seven wins over the years, this season's at Beverley in July (4lb higher today) but he's been below form since; has won on good to soft and soft in his time but this season's runs on both have been moderate at best, so maybe drying ground would help.

The blinkers came back for his last four starts and he's won them all, over 5f/5.5f on varied ground under Mark Winn at Nottingham, Beverley, Wetherby and Thirsk; up another 6lb but he's been produced late for tidy wins on last three starts and can go very well again if all is okay after 55 days off.
