Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many.

Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off.

5yo who has won his last three starts and the second leg was a dominant display at Wolverhampton (8.6f); didn't have much in hand at Carlisle (1m) last time but he hit a personal best with that brave success and still looks feasibly treated off 4lb higher; strongly respected back in trip.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good).

Four wins at about 1m (all on good ground), seen to best advantage with the stiff test at Salisbury in May; has more to prove on what he's shown since and although he might be better for having time off since last seen in July, this easy 1m asks a question.
