Form & Verdict
Made a successful stable debut after five months off here (7f) in February, but has been a beaten favourite in all three outings since; won over 1m in Ireland, so the return to this trip is not a problem, and he won when blinkered for the first time, so interesting to see if the application of cheekpieces has a similar effect.

Well supported when making it 12th-time lucky over C&D on Friday, beating How Bizarre by a nose; may be able to pull out a bit extra as that was his first start in two months, but will still find it tough to confirm the form with the runner-up under his 5lb penalty.

Front-runner whose losing run is now up to 38, but he could hardly have got any closer when beaten a nose by Cavalluccio over C&D on Friday and is now 5lb better off with that rival; with no other obvious pace angle in the field, he should again enjoy the run of the race and this looks a good opportunity.

In fine form over 7f/1m here last month, winning a couple of 0-50 classified events and finishing second of nine in a similar race to this on Friday; Cavalluccio and How Bizarre fought out the finish of the other division in a slightly quicker time, though, so he may need to step up again in order to come out on top.
