Six AW wins for Stuart Kittow including over C&D in his final run last season; returns for Zoe Hawkins after 238 days off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; market should be useful.

Three of top five RPRs achieved here; shaped better than finishing position suggests at Southwell on Sunday and didn't get the breaks when fourth to Arctic Dawn the time before (C&D); won't really benefit from stall 1 given his style of racing and there isn't loads of pace on paper; wears just a tongue-tie.

All five wins have come over 7f on the AW, including here, but he has run well over this far; losing run up to 12, but has dropped to a fair mark (1lb higher than when last successful) and could sneak into the frame; visor now given a go.
