Gained a fourth success of the season when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (6f, soft, 7/4) 9 days ago, pushed out. Goes well with cut in the ground and he can add to his tally.
Four-time C&D winner, with his latest success at Haydock in July. However, below form when ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 12/) 27 days ago, so bounce back called for.
Off the mark at Ayr in July and was unlucky not to follow up when second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 3/1) 10 days ago, conceding first run. Respected in his current form.
Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Not discredited when sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft, 3/1) 13 days ago. Has dropped below his last winning mark, but more needed to take advantage.

Forecasts
Impressor (6/5), Borough (5/2), Gustav Graves (4/1), Refuge (6/1)
IMPRESSOR has thrived of late since the cheekpieces have been reapplied, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when successful here 9 days ago, and he can score again with conditions to suit. Borough also arrives in good form and looks to be the main danger.
