Form & Verdict
Runner-up on three of his six appearances last year, most recently behind an unbeaten rival over C&D in October; has fitness to prove after 143-day break and can sometimes race too freely but he's on a workable mark and Oisin Murphy is a good booking.

All three wins have been on AW (7f/1m); good second over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) last month and he had a near-miss over C&D (good) on Friday night; hard to rule out another big run but this is a quick turnaround and he's 6lb out of the weights.

All three wins have been on the AW (7f/1m), the most recent at Chelmsford last August, but he returned to form at Windsor (6f, good to firm) ten days ago, finishing well to be second of 11; won't mind the step back up in trip and he's shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Nine-time winner over 7f, most recently off today's mark at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; often sluggish in the early stages but gave pretty good account when fourth over 1m at Southwell a week ago and today's drop back in trip is sure to suit.

2-6 since rejoining James Fanshawe after a spell in Hong Kong, the latter win gained in good style over C&D in September; that form worked out well but he managed only a midfield finish off today's 9lb higher mark at Southwell in December and probably needs to kick on again.
