Form & Verdict
Back to a more realistic mark and March's return to action should have blown away any cobwebs; won second time out last season (Rossa Ryan rode) and he's effective over C&D; one to consider.

Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say.

All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Has lots of ability and often the victim of races not being run to suit when with former yard; good second at Yarmouth on return to Robert Cowell's yard 19 days ago (5f, good to firm); good mark but often slowly away and this isn't a track at which to be conceding cheap lengths early.
