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.

Three wins (7f/1m, all AW) and it was a good effort when third in Southwell series final (1m, AW) 17 days ago; having a rare foray on grass but did finish second in good-ground Chester handicap (6f) in September; not dismissed from his lower turf mark.

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.

Form & Verdict
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.
