Gets away with this trip but it's easy to argue 7f suits ideally; pulled hard on heavy ground last time and is better than that but he'd been turned over as favourite three times on the spin previously and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark.

Form & Verdict
0-7, but has done better the last twice since the hood was removed, finishing second of seven here (6f) in January and fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; the winners of both races have gone in again since and this looks a very winnable contest.

Form & Verdict
Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all to break his duck at the ninth attempt at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last month; will do well to dominate these in the same way off 4lb higher and his stamina for this far remains a question mark.

Time with Tony Carroll ended on a low but good third in January on second run for new yard before probably failing to stay 9.4f; more severe headgear (blinkers instead of cheekpieces) is given a whirl and he has the rail draw.
