Winner of his first two starts this season but struggled in valuable contests the last twice. Remains on a mark 6lb higher than for his most recent victory.
Successful three times from four starts and made a winning handicap debut over 1m1f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Raised 5lb for that success and step up in trip likely to suit.
Placed second on good-to-firm ground when making his handicap debut on the Rowley Mile here in May. Disappointed over 1m4f on the AW subsequently and wears a tongue tie for the first time returning to turf.
The progressive KAANOON can record his fourth career success on his first attempt at this trip. The selection remains open to improvement and can get the better of his rivals here with Simoon capable of finishing runner-up dropping in trip. Third place can go to Mootasadir who should appreciate the forecast good-to-firm going.
