Very well supported ahead of last week's C&D second, picked off late by a fast-finishing winner; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question of him but he's still likely to be involved.

Soundly beaten at Doncaster last month but may have needed that comeback run; fair sixth of 15 in this race last year (good) and close third of six here (6f, good to firm) next time; each-way claims if back on song.

Free-going prominent racer who won twice on AW early in the year; not so good in competitive handicaps twice in April, after which he was gelded; still has some potential but he will need a career best to come out on top.

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip.
