Won this race in 2015, hasn't scaled the heights so far this year but two most recent efforts were more positive and on a very handy mark now should he put it all together back at this track.
Experienced performer, scored over a mile on the AW at Newcastle in January but has struggled since then, including last of six over C&D last month. Drops in grade and has been given a chance by the assessor seemingly.
All three career starts have come here, including a win over this trip in novice company in middle outing (sent off 28/1). Didn't repeat trick since and opening handicap mark ask a question.
Steady progress in three qualifying runs ahead of this handicap debut, culminating in neck second in a low-grade C&D novice contest last time. Could improve again, needs to.

CORTON LAD has shown improved signs in two recent runs and is on a more than workable handicap mark as he bids to win this race for the second time in four years, his experience may prove a big asset now. Handicaps debutants Home Before Dusk and Glasses Up are respected as is Testa Rossa, who drops in class and has been cut some slack by the handicapper.
