Form & Verdict

Led close home over 1m4f here (good to firm) last month and was close third over that trip here (soft) last week; today's drop back to 1m2f might not be ideal but Sean D Bowen claims a useful 3lb; high on the list.

Came good with two course wins this summer (C&D handicap/1m classified) but has finished last of six here (1m2f/7f) on his last two appearances; reunited with Hollie Doyle (aboard for both wins) today and might bounce back but his tendency to race too freely remains a worry.

The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level.

Poor form as a 2yo but he's found his level this year, runner-up twice in May (both 1m, soft) and finding further progress for faster ground the last twice, including a breakthrough win at Leicester; beaten a nose over 1m2f three weeks ago; big chance.
