J: Daniel Muscutt

Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards.

The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations.

Losing run to break but well treated on 5f Polytrack form as recent as midwinter and replacing a hood with refitted cheekpieces could be a help; not out of this back on AW but in-form rivals could stand in his way.

Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Favourably treated when scooting clear at Lingfield (5f) last week; had plenty in hand and 3lb well-in under a penalty, so he has obvious claims if as good on this surface (had excuses for defeats here); has won on the other Tapeta tracks.

Admirable 8yo who has won four of his last five starts and was as good as ever when making all for a clearcut win at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; a 6lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player again in his bid for a four-timer.

Losing run up to 22, but runner-up on consecutive days last week, firstly in a similar contest to this at Chelmsford (6f, Tapeta) and then a 0-55 handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good); should go well again, but others preferred for the win.

Form & Verdict
Operates off a relatively low mark these days and has found 5f on the new surface here a happy hunting ground this year, running well on first attempt then winning his next two, with a little in hand on Monday; no surprise to see him defy a penalty with Jonny Peate taking off 5lb.

The odd respectable effort over the winter, including over C&D, but he tackles all sorts of distances and was tailed off over 7f here last month; can only be watched.
