Veteran who was sent off favourite dropped to this grade at Newcastle last month and ran better, not seeing out the 7f after racing freely; well up to winning at this level but the widest stall isn't ideal.

J: Ethan Jones

Winner of 12 AW races, three of them this year at 6f and 7f on this track; the weights favour Navy Drums on their C&D form in February (his most recent 6f run here) but the latter had the better run of the two by some way; continues in very good form and looks sure to go well.

Form & Verdict
Won a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton last March (good Topspeed figure) and if he can return to that level he'd be a key player, even allowing for a wide draw; yet to fire in two runs this winter but a hood is now tried and he's not a forlorn hope.
