10st 13lb

J: Mr James Murray

T: Mickey Bowen

Benefited from a patient ride when wide-margin winner of two-finisher contest at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and has performed well twice since, more recently when staying-on third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday; will be fine stamina-wise if he makes a quick reappearance.

T: Mickey Bowen

Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls; in good form this spring for his current yard since undergoing wind surgery, scoring at Sedgefield (3m2f) before finishing a good fourth over 3m6f at Perth when set a lot to do; can go well eased 1lb here.

J: Shane Fenelon

T: Mickey Bowen

Not as good as he was but has turned a corner following wind surgery and came home clear at Sedgefield (3m2f, good); that race fell apart in behind but he would probably have won anyway; raised 8lb but had become very well handicapped.

J: Shane Fenelon

T: Mickey Bowen

A very useful 3m chase winner at his best for Paul Nicholls; not so good nowadays but this veteran wasn't disgraced on the back of breathing surgery when third of nine in 3m Doncaster handicap chase 33 days ago; no forlorn hope.

He's tumbled down the weights but he lost his way for Paul Nicholls and there's been no revival this winter for his new stable; hopes are pinned on wind surgery prompting a transformation.
