Maintained his good run of form with a narrow success at Musselburgh on Friday; it would be fair to say he had the run of things then (raced prominently from an advantageous draw) and could be vulnerable with a penalty.

Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted.

Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way.
