Just touched off when dropping to this trip for the first time since June in a soft ground Newmarket handicap last month. Raised 1lb for that effort and one to note in this contest.
Couple of decent efforts in handicap company this year but well beaten in a first time visor (left off today) when last of six over this trip at Ffos Las (good-to-soft) last time.
Sole success came over the minimum distance at Catterick (good-to-firm) back in April. Best effort since came when third of nine off this mark at Thirsk (good-to-soft) last time out and one to note in this.
Making his first appearance since being gelded when winning over 5f at Leicester (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off a 4lb higher mark and best efforts this season have come over the minimum trip.

ZEBULON can defy top weight to claim this concluding sprint handicap. The selection was narrowly beaten last time out and can defy a 1lb rise in the weights to see off Himself who is a winner over this C&D in the past and returned to form when finishing second last time out while Kings Academy can claim third as he bids to follow up a success at Leicester last month.
