Form & Verdict
Front-runner who's on a long losing run and had too many near-misses during that time for comfort; two solid efforts in the cheekpieces over C&D lately give him claims under Kevin Stott (first ride for the yard), however, in a race lacking much pace.

Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Proven winner who tries hard and has always been happiest round here; arrives in form but there's little wiggle room off this mark and, while he's won over this trip, it's possible to argue 6f suits better these days.

C&D win a little over a year ago came off 4lb higher and this is a bit easier again off a career-low mark; showed more last time too, and the harder they go in front the better his chance will be.

Almost two years since he won and is knocking on now but he remains pretty consistent for his age; has won a couple of times round here and, while he'll need luck if dropped in as usual from a wide stall, he remains capable back in headgear.
