Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark; came into that race in good form, however, whereas this time around he was a remote last of seven at Beverley; revival not impossible but others are more solid; stable also run Lion's House.

Progressed well last year after starting off in classified events and it was a rare blip at Southwell two months ago; could be better for a break and showed on his penultimate run that he can deal with this near career-high mark.

Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf.

Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field.

Below best at Southwell last time but had previously beaten Rodborough over C&D and went close to defying a 5lb rise on his return visit; gets in here off the same mark as that day; had 54 days off but likely contender if on his game.
