J: Keithen Kennedy

T: Edward Lynam

Six-time course winner, most effective at this trip; generally below his best since winning here last September; mild encouragement from his most recent run, but needs to reverse form with Comfort Line, Kitty Bear and Punk Poet; dropping in the ratings, now 9lb below last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner with 10 AW wins in Britain and looked in fine fettle when landing C&D claimer nine days ago under similar tactics, clear from over a furlong down; stiffer task back in handicap company but on a fair mark and could make them all go from this inside draw.
