Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely.

Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack.

Inconsistent 12-race maiden, who can miss the break and he was always behind here (9.4f; first-time blinkers) last time; mark continues to fall but he still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo, who has improved since being gelded and he made his breakthrough when coming from off the pace over C&D (4-1) last Monday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's still unexposed on AW; big player.

All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra.
