Finishing effort rarely matches the ease with which he moves through his races; he should be sharper with last month's Redcar reappearance behind him but more of a place-only proposition.

2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious.

Five-time AW winner, two of them this winter (7f); 0-15 on turf but he has run well at Ayr in the past and his 13lb lower mark on grass enables him to get into this basement-level contest; goes well for Paul Mulrennan; more appealing than many.

Huge chance on the form he was showing last autumn, including a 1m2f win at Newcastle; out of sorts in six of his seven runs this year (wind op after the first) and dropping to 7f is a query but this is his first run in a classified event and cheekpieces are now added; betting to guide.
