His four runs here brought two heavy defeats but also one 1m2f win (last August) and one 1m2f second; his record at around 1m4f is a concern; pulled up on latest start, when he bled from the nose. |

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW. |

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time. |

Sole win was in May 2021 and he's a frequent slow starter; has dropped a long way in the weights but has mixed record under both codes since October and he's been well held (1m4f/1m2f) in last two runs; has plenty to prove now upped to 1m6f and others are preferred. |

Came good for Simon Hodgson at fourth attempt, leading close home at Brighton (1m, good; visored) last month; raced too freely in first-time blinkers there last week but still ran well; has the visor refitted here and this drop back to 7f is an interesting move; might be the answer. |
