4/1

Unreliable sort. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm, 13/2) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly back down in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form.

11/8

Latest win at Ayr in June. Run creditably in defeat since, including when third of 11 in handicap at same course (6f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Should go well again.

Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive.
