Form & Verdict
Three wins, three seconds and only twice out of the first four in 14 runs over C&D; a solid comeback from the front over 1m here 13 days ago (Tea Sea behind), back from seven months off, should have set him up nicely; decent claims.

Likes to get on with it and he registered the latest of his six wins when making all in five-runner Brighton handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; went off too quickly next time but his third at Chester was a solid effort two weeks ago; same mark and this is tougher, though.

Habitual front-runner; reeled in after going off a bit too hard over 1m at Brighton recently but won over 7f there (good to firm) two starts ago and has the ideal draw here; could take some catching.

Form & Verdict
Not had a lot of luck with one thing and another lately and won't mind going back up to an easy 7f as he bids to take his course record to 3-3; higher in the weights than when twice winning easily here for Tom Clover last backend but he's respected.

Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider.

Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark.

Handicapper quick to ease off and he offered more back on turf last time, on just his second run at beyond sprint trips; lacked consistency to date but that gave something to build on.
