A maiden after 13 runs but placed in two 1m2f handicaps here last summer and only beaten about 2l when fifth in this grade last month, after a break; not sure to be suited by this drop back in trip but still considered.

Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though.
