Form & Verdict
A revelation since cheekpieces were fitted last month and bids to complete a very quick hat-trick after comfortable heavy-ground wins over C&D and at Newcastle (2m7f); still ahead of the handicapper under his 14lb penalty and has very obvious claims.

Revitalised by the cheekpieces last season, completing a quickfire heavy-ground hat-trick in March (getting the better on Camp Belan in the last of those), all at around 3m, but signed off the campaign on a low note; only 4lb higher than his most recent win but needs to have been freshened up from the break and the cheekpieces are missing here.

J: Joe Williamson

T: Philip Kirby

Form figures of 2111 after the cheekpieces went on, showing a liking for 3m on soft or heavy ground; might be on a tough mark now (not even taking into account being 3lb out of the weights) and he ran no race last time at Carlisle.

Form & Verdict
Largely consistent 8yo who was too strong for dual subsequent winner Heritier De Sivola when scoring in second-time blinkers at Ayr (3m, soft) last month; meets that rival on 13lb better terms here (if Joe Williamson's reduced claim is considered) but Philip Kirby's runner has undoubtedly shown major improvement in the meantime.
