Form & Verdict
Won off only 2lb lower at Brighton (5.5f, good to firm) three runs back and record fresh suggests his Kempton defeat is best forgiven, especially from a tricky draw; better expected.

Eight-time winner at up to 7f; made virtually all when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April, but he's not hit the same level since and was only sixth of eight at Windsor last time; now back below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game.

Consistent last season in handicaps before bagging one with a bit to spare at Thirsk in June (5f, good to firm; 1lb lower); clearly on a dangerous mark if ready for business after his break.

Infrequent winner but well handicapped and didn't get the breaks when behind Mellys Flyer at Chelmsford 12 days ago (5f); 2lb drop comes in handy and, whilst mostly seen on the AW these days, he's capable on turf; cheekpieces replaced by new headgear combination.
