Front-runner who won five times on turf last season (7f/1m); probably needed his return from seven months off at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but a concern that he is 1-21 on the AW and has been well held in both starts on Polytrack.

Second in this last year and he's twice made all over 1m here this season; arrives on a hat-trick following two wins at Beverley (7.4f, heavy/good to firm) and he'll be tough to reel in if his fine form continues.

2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious.
