Form & Verdict
Resurgent 4yo who scored off a much-reduced mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month before following up from wide draw there (7f) five days later; up another 4lb but he remains very well treated on old form and is a big player again back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Most of his 19 runs have been on AW and he's won three times including over C&D; struggled on stable debut at Newmarket last month but that was after a break and he's on a dangerous mark on this return to Polytrack; not ruled out with regular visor reapplied.
