Form & Verdict
Only just denied on his return from six months off at Lingfield (1m, AW) this month and a 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last May; could be the answer.

Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark.

Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings.

Form & Verdict
Often a front-runner who won three times at around 1m last year and didn't run badly when sixth of 13 on his return at Kempton (1m, AW) ten days ago, only fading out of things late; drying ground would be in his favour, but the shorter trip does pose a question.

Five wins last year including one here (6f, good to firm) with his last two successes coming over this trip at Chepstow (good); has won after six months off so his absence since December isn't a major concern, but his last three efforts do leave something to be desired.

Form & Verdict
Has been kept busy on the AW since last seen on turf including three wins over 7f-8.6f; did well here last summer, with a win (1m, good to firm) and three runner-up finishes in five visits, so although further may suit him better now he has to be considered especially should the ground dry out.

Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out.

18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running.

Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before).

Form & Verdict
Back to winning form at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February, but twice held since; placed off similar marks in three consecutive starts last year including twice on turf, but his record of 2-25 does suggest that others are more likely now back on turf; stable also runs Otago.
