Now 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago (soft); however, he's failed to shine on either outing this year and slow ground, which seems unlikely to prevail today, is probably preferable.

Only 2-25 but latest win came off this mark last summer and also placed on both visits here; pulled too hard and weakened on 5f Carlisle reappearance but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and his yard is in better form now; no surprise were he to go well.
