Recorded back-to-back wins last summer. Yet to add to his tally this season but has been threatening to come good, third of 10 at Newcastle (1m) 6 days ago. Back up in trip and fancied to be in the mix again.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
