Better than ever this year when winning Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton in March and useful 1m2f handicap on the July course last month; career-best effort on RPRs at York last time and should give another good account in race likely to bring best out of him. sure its got to heft 9-07 and that's outside the trends  for the winning punt 
 I also like the chances of a big run from (if it pelts down so much the better)

Improved considerably over 1m this season and 7lb ahead of the handicapper after his latest impressive win at Doncaster, but that was on good to soft (all wins on soft surface);  never won this far though it should do it well if the rain fallsl.

 good luck all - the real racing will get the juices running soon and at market rasen today  Bobown and Oyster shell will be there or therabouts
