The top-rated dog in the field on composite score and the fastest on speed rating, which is the stronger predictor at A6 Sunderland where it wins 22% of races. Form of 61 and 66 in his last two runs shows he's in good heart, and he comes into this off the back of two placed efforts at this level. His course and distance record is strong with two wins and four places from ten runs — he clearly handles Sunderland over this trip. Drawn in trap 2, which wins 20.2% at A6 from 218 runs, a solid draw. He's a Closer who finishes off his races well, and with Bashful Pebbles likely to set a strong pace from trap 1, this could set up perfectly for him to pick up the pieces in the home straight.
