Not as good as he was and has become inconsistent; it's far from certain he'll repeat his latest effort, which came in a first-time visor, but holds leading claims on that.

More consistent this year for headgear going on, so it's perhaps surprising to see her run without tonight; otherwise there was nothing wrong with her latest Southwell second off the same mark and stall 5 is fine for one happiest on the sharp end.
