ARC All-Weather £1Million Bonus Returns Handicap

Off the mark when justifying favouritism at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in July but he's been well held in three subsequent runs including when third of five at Kempton last month; that was behind an improver in a tactical race but he's now 1-10 and others are more persuasive.

Eight-race maiden; reached the frame in three maiden/novice events but he's been well held in three handicaps including in two runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he weakened when upped to 2m at Kempton last time and others are preferred.

Two wins on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f/2m) last October and has won twice over 2m on turf this year; finished third of four over C&D 12 days ago but he was close up in that Class 4 event and has possibilities on this drop back in grade.

No win since a hurdle race in May 2023; flopped in final run for Donald McCain in August but he went very close at Musselburgh (2m2f) and Thirsk (2m) before that; has claims if he can recapture that form and he needs a close look on first run for James Owen; new headgear.

Five-time AW winner who scored off 1lb higher at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in February but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and still has stamina to prove at this trip; opposable.
