Form & Verdict
Won over C&D in October and, after a lesser run at Newcastle, he made it 2-2 on the Tapeta here when scoring over C&D last month; did it in good style last time and a 5lb rise may not prevent a follow up.

Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been rather below his best since; equally effective on turf and has won over 1m on fast ground; others look better handicapped.

J: Joanna Mason

No signs of age dimming his enthusiasm, completing a December/January hat-trick (second leg over 1m here); a slow start didn't help when sixth of 12 at Southwell last time and he can be treated as if still in form.

Form & Verdict
Absent since a below-par run for the Crisfords last May (gelded since) and he changed hands for 25,000gns in August; this lightly raced Tapeta winner makes his stable debut off a competitive mark for a new yard in fine form; interesting, especially if well backed.
