J: Jack Nicholls

T: Kevin Ryan

Third of 22 in 3yo handicap over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting 12 months ago and progressive on AW since; soft ground may not have suited at Musselburgh last time and he's had wind surgery since; however, a career best is needed today and he has to prove he's just as good on turf as AW.

Steadily progressive and posted another personal best when third at Southwell (5f, AW) on reappearance; his turf form is at a lower level but he still won at Thirsk last spring and finished third in a big field at York's Dante meeting (both 5f, good to firm); race-fit and should be in the thick of things again if a low draw doesn't count against him.

Prominent racer; thumped ten rivals in a C&D handicap last July and ran well off his revised mark (1lb lower today) back here in September; found the Group 1 Abbaye too hot to handle when last seen in October; won after a break last spring but he was well ahead of his mark then and that probably isn't the case now.
