Going the right way after wins at Sandown (5f) and Ripon (6f; again good to soft) but probably needs a fair chunk of improvement to bring up the hat-trick; on the plus side, his stable's 2yos tend to improve with racing and he's well drawn.

Still rather weighted to the hilt but his C&D record reads 1523, the fifth-place finish in this contest 12 months ago; on the same (near-peak) mark but Toby Moore takes off a handy 7lb this time; could go well.

Won two feature handicaps last summer (6f/7f) but only midfield in this contest (third of 12 in the stands' side group); ran a fine race when second at Ascot (7f, good to firm) in July but he flopped in the Stewards' Cup (sent off favourite) and neither of his runs since suggest he is the answer this time; trainer won both this race and the Silver Cup last year.

Won a valuable C&D handicap last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run when second of 16 in July and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat one week later, only to stumble leaving the stalls; wasn't far off his best over 1m here four weeks ago but this drop back to 7f still looks the right move; player.

In good form this year and he took it to a new level when powering home to win the 5.4f handicap here on Wednesday; has had few chances at 6f (third to Stratusnine over C&D last month) and will be fine on good to soft (more to prove should it get slower); respected under a 5lb penalty.
