Lightly raced 5yo who won three of her first four starts on the AW, the latest at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; has been mostly quiet since, though, and this looks a tough task; stable also runs Malka.

Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running, including at this track; he did not have the top stayers to worry about last September when winning his second Doncaster Cup and the same seems to apply today, so he's a leading player.
