Form & Verdict
Had been knocking at the door prior to a comfortable front-running C&D win last month; good effort to follow up here two weeks ago (idled in front; Proclivity second), an effort backed up by the Topspeed figure; 3lb higher but comes here at the top of his game.

Three course wins last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark in August; perhaps needed his latest start (after nine weeks off) and this represents a drop in grade; drawn widest but not a forlorn hope by any stretch.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f Polytrack wins for John Butler in the autumn; hasn't fired for his new yard as yet but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there was market support for him over C&D two weeks ago, only for him to rear as the stalls opened and find himself poorly positioned in a race where the pace held up; this is a stronger race but he's not discounted.
