Form & Verdict
Couple of expensive blowouts last summer following a pleasing comeback; maybe he's just best caught fresh and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market coming right down in trip after six months off.

All six wins in Britain came on the AW; first success on turf came last month over C&D, quickening off a slow pace, despite racing keenly; put a blot on his record when running no sort of race in a Leopardstown event in which Daler finished fifth.

Back on a handy mark and started a short price over C&D last Thursday, when a clear second (back in cheekpieces) having always been on a good pace; will be 1lb higher from tomorrow and holds leading claims on that.

Consistent this year and recorded a clearcut win at Lingfield (7f, good) returned to turf last time but everything went his way (made all against favoured near rail); no certainty to defy a 6lb rise.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again.

Generally consistent for three yards but has only won once from 23 starts, that coming over further on Tapeta; is down to a career-low mark, though, and needs a second look in first-time cheekpieces.

Has done a lot of his winning in the winter and arrives in good form; always a strong chance he'll hamper his chances at the stalls, though, and he does need things to pan out just so given his run style.

Trainer best known for jumpers but has already won three on the AW this year with Destinado; this mare regressed for Lucy Wadham last season but ran well all three starts round here, which gives hope.

Step up to this trip helped last autumn (including a C&D win off tonight's mark) but it's been a mixed bag since; was below-par here three weeks ago but gives his yard a decent hand alongside Split Elevens.

Claims on his C&D second in June but that came on soft and he's generally been kept to the AW; has blown it at the start twice since and is given a second go in cheekpieces, instead of the usual blinkers, for a trainer who also runs Red Evelyn.
