Completed a double when winning over 7f at Leicester (good-to-firm) in July. Fair 4L eighth over 6f subsequently and this step back up in trip is in his favour.

Good effort in finishing third over 7f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off the same mark here and is of interest once more.

CHAMPAGNE BOB can record a third win in his last four starts by taking this handicap event. The selection races off a mark 6lb higher than for his most recent victory and he can get the better of Irish raider New Identity who was a winner of his penultimate start. Garth Rockett has been running well in recent times and he can finish third.
