Drew nicely clear to win comfortably at Fontwell (2m5f, good; soft also suits) last month, his second chase success there this season; latest 10lb rise demands more from him but he's still a very obvious one for the shortlist.

Something has clicked having won three of his last five races (had been a maiden) and strolled home by 21l at Plumpton (2m3f, good) to earn this 13lb higher mark; now has to deal with that rise in a loftier grade and good ground seems to suit him well.

Won quite easily by 16l here (2m3f, good) in June and was very respectable fourth of 13 in much deeper race than this off new mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) later that month; suffered early mishap on latest outing but remains very much of interest.
