Off the mark in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m, AW) in October and returned from break with pretty good effort over that C&D in February; had excuses when down the field on both starts in April (soft ground/bled from nose) and is a contender if all goes to plan here; now sports cheekpieces.

He hasn't looked back since stepping up to middle distances, winning five times here this year from 1m3f to 2m; ran right up to his best when second at Newcastle three weeks ago and still has time to do better; whether he'll have the pace to cope with the return to 1m is a moot point though.

Has a record of 4-11 at this venue, the four wins gained early this year; unlucky second (clear of remainder) back here four weeks ago, as he might have won but for his rider dropping the whip over 1f out; that form is strong (winner was on first leg of a hat-trick); due to go up 2lb in future; big player.

Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners).
