J: David Probert

Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored.

4yo who's come into his own this season with three wins, the first two on a sound surface at this track (1m/1m2f) in April and the latest when coming from the rear at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; needed some riding last time and is 5lb higher today but he was strong where it mattered and finished well on top.

Attractively weighted, even on best turf form; however, he's 0-17 in this sphere and hasn't won on AW since 2022; no certainty to take advantage of a reduced mark.

Billy Garritty gets on well with him (form figures together read 421125) and the likes of Kessaar Power should ensure this is truly run, which will suit this hold-up performer; he does seem more effective over 7f, though.

Can miss the break but scored twice last year, a 20-1 win at Newmarket (good to firm) in July supplemented by a Yarmouth (also 7f, good to soft) success in September; never dangerous on AW return in February but might do better this time.

Seen to advantage (sat off the strong pace) when producing career win number three (second at Yarmouth) 34 days ago (7f); she stays this far but it's doubtful things will pan out as favourably and a 6lb rise is tough.

Made it 0-13 when only sixth over C&D 11 days ago on his second start of the season, but it's possible he's working his way back to form and he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts; not written off.
