Six AW wins for Stuart Kittow including over C&D in his final run last season; returns for Zoe Hawkins after 238 days off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; market should be useful.

J: Neil Callan

T: Stuart Kittow

Three of top five RPRs achieved here; shaped better than finishing position suggests at Southwell on Sunday and didn't get the breaks when fourth to Arctic Dawn the time before (C&D); won't really benefit from stall 1 given his style of racing and there isn't loads of pace on paper; wears just a tongue-tie.

All five wins have come over 7f on the AW, including here, but he has run well over this far; losing run up to 12, but has dropped to a fair mark (1lb higher than when last successful) and could sneak into the frame; visor now given a go.

Form & Verdict
Now 5lb lower than when a good second over 8.6f here last December and he could appreciate this step back up in trip, having tackled 6f the last twice; however, now 0-10 and claims aren't compelling on recent evidence.

Did well to finish fifth at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time, having been slowly away and met traffic issues; however, now 0-18 and chance of first win partly depends on how well he takes to first-time hood.

Won at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month when upped to 1m for the first time, and good third of 14 at Bath (1m, soft) last time; drops back in trip here but he's effective on Tapeta and has a progressive profile; respected.
