Three of his five wins have come over C&D, including a division of this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not shone yet this winter and he arrives with a bit to prove.

Kept on well to score off this mark at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) in July and also has a soft-ground success on his record but both runs last month were below par and conditions are probably not ideal for him today.

Thrice-raced filly who appeared to take a step forward at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) most recently but the form may not be reliable; still hard to rule out progress now handicapping at Class 6 level.

Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages.
