Form & Verdict
Losing run is up to 40 but he went close at Thirsk (6f, heavy) last month before a creditable sixth of 17 there last time; now drops back in trip but he should get a good tow into the race and shouldn't be far away; change of headgear.

Form & Verdict
Dual turf winner who recorded his fifth AW success when winning eased down at Wolverhampton (5f) last Wednesday; has a penalty back on turf but he's 5lb lower than last time and is due to be 5lb higher in future; major player and he's versatile ground-wise in this sphere.
