J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Has mostly run well since handicapping, one of the exceptions on his sole visit to this track but that was on soft ground and the only time he's had a visor (usually wears cheekpieces); three front-running wins on turf at up to 2m last season and renewed his progress this term, always prominent when scoring from Temporize at Goodwood (2m) last time; whether he can get a good enough early position from stall 1 is a worry, as he's not been quick to find his stride this term, but otherwise he should run very well.

His two wins last year include one here over 1m6f in October and he was runner-up off 2lb higher than today's mark at Kempton (2m, AW) next time; respectable fifth at Goodwood 13 days ago but he isn't certain to be suited by this drop back in trip.
