Half-brother to five winners who finished well held in four runs last year for Brett Johnson; not much expected on his Kempton comeback, so that was promising to run well in second place, and this longer trip should be fine on both that evidence and pedigree.

Front-runner who dead-heated for first in first-time visor at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and took another step forward when very close second at Bath (1m, good) 25 days ago; respected in current mood.

J: David Probert

Unexposed after only four starts and put in fairly good front-running shift before weakening into fourth on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); harmed her chance by persistently hanging right there and may improve if the new visor helps to keep her focused here.
