0-14, but has only run twice for this yard and very nearly broke his duck when beaten a head at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) 27 days ago; up 2lb but he has landed the inside stall and should make a bold bid.

Well into the veteran stage now but he's an AW specialist who recorded his tenth course win when finishing well to score over C&D last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success after a short break and he remains feasibly treated; shortlisted.

At the veteran stage, but this nine-time course winner is still more than capable at this level as he showed when twice runner-up off this mark over C&D at the start of the year; did win fresh in his younger days, but more recent evidence suggests he may just need this after 73 days off.
