Said to have drawn benefit from the application of cheekpieces when game C&D winner (16-1; Summergrounds a close fourth) five weeks ago; boasts a solid C&D record (1U31) so a 2lb rise in the handicap could be manageable; one of three for Russell & Scudamore.

Looked in excellent nick at Stratford (2m6f, good; refitted visor) nine days ago, dominating from the front and winning by 11l; could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip but, on the balance of this year's form, might be vulnerable after recent 6lb rise.
