Two wins from 6 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Has to be of interest in current mood.

14/1
Latest win at Catterick in July. 40/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago, shaping nicely considering he was wide throughout from a tough draw.

9/1
Latest win at Newcastle in July. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to soft, 10/1) 6 days ago, not clear run. That effort confirms he's in top form.

11/2
C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Respectable 2¾ lengths third of 7 to Glory Fighter in handicap (13/2) at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago, taking time to get going. Must improve.

18/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 3¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Dream House in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 13/2) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Tough to assess at present.

11/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago by short head from Mutabaahy, just holding on. Up 2 lb and this is a deeper race.

Forecasts

Quanah (4/1), Militia (9/2), Primo's Comet (11/2), Show Palace (11/2), Gowanbuster (13/2), Mutabaahy (9/1), Glory Fighter (10/1), Eeh Bah Gum (10/1), Canford Bay (14/1), Dream House (14/1), Dapper Man (18/1), Royal Brave (20/1), Economic Crisis (22/1), Red Stripes (66/1)

Verdict

Almost certain to prove strong form for the grade. GLORY FIGHTER and Militia boast similar profiles in that they are hat-trick seekers up 4 lb having won different divisions of a handicap on the same card at Chester 12 days ago. Marginal preference is for the Iain Jardine representative, who had a bit in hand there. Mutabaahy and Show Palace also merit consideration.

  1. GLORY FIGHTER
  2. MILITIA
