Big improver since stepped up in trip, making it 5 in a row when scoring readily by 4 lengths at Southwell (2m) last month. Good second under a penalty in Chester Cup 2 weeks ago and remains of interest despite new mark kicking in.
Good second in Chester Cup last season and again ran well in this year's renewal 2 weeks ago, though another slow start hampered his chance. Decent third in this last year off 4 lb higher and should remain competitive with headgear back on.
Mixed record in handicaps for this yard last season, his 2 best efforts coming on the AW. Looked rusty at Newcastle on return 2 weeks and back over a more suitable trip now.
Holds his form irably for one so busy and latest third at Newcastle was another good effort. Wins his fair share as well but the biggest concern here is stamina back up in trip on return to turf.
Successful twice last season, overcoming a step up in grade when scoring at York (16.2f) in October. Built on encouraging comeback at the second attempt when winning Chester Plate 2 weeks ago and should go well again if this doesn't come too soon.
