Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though.

Burst back to life with a very easy classified win at Ayr (1m2f, good; cheekpieces back on for only a second time) but wouldn't want to be at all flattered by that with the handicapper hitting him with 9lb.

Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark.

Both wins last season were over 1m2f; hasn't worn headgear so far this season and was below-par dropped to 7f last time (good to firm; reportedly never travelling) having run creditably when fourth at Ayr after a break 15 days earlier (1m1f); interesting with cheekpieces back on

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.
