Made most from a similar stall when winning easily off tonight's mark over C&D in the spring; two previous efforts in cheekpieces weren't great but he's one to consider back on Tapeta.

Free-going front-runner (well drawn in stall 3) who shows a tendency to hang to his right; holds claims on August's Epsom second but he's generally struggled in handicaps otherwise and his two previous AW efforts, including over C&D, were poor.

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.
