All-the-way winner in a first-time eyeshield over C&D last month but diminishing returns over this trip in the same headgear (now discarded) since; has something to prove again and he's drawn out widest of all.

J: Christian Howarth

T: Simon Dow

Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing.

Slipped in the weights and back to winning ways in first-time hood at Chelmsford in January; solid efforts on last two starts (including over C&D penultimate run) and should go well in this company.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning.
