Form & Verdict
Reappearance in March was his only defeat in his last four 6f runs and he gave a willing display to keep the challengers at bay at Newcastle in April; crept up 3lb but should hold his own.

More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f.

T: Bryan Smart

Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track.

Reliable front-runner over C&D during the winter, winning twice, but he wasn't in peak form 23 days ago and will need to be today if he's to have a chance against unexposed rivals.

Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout.

Lightly raced 4yo who has taken a healthy step forward since back at 6f this year, winning a Wolverhampton maiden before beating an in-form rival to win handicap debut at Kempton; didn't appear to have lots in hand but should have some more to come off just 2lb higher.
