Useful and consistent last term, winning twice over 7f and finishing fourth in a US Grade 2 (8.5f) in October; gelded after final start; shaped well on only run at Kempton; the pick on form and probably the one to beat.

Came on from his Kempton debut (7f, AW) when winning by half a length in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; may improve again but this won't be easy under his penalty; stable also runs the newcomer Olympus Point.

More exposed than many of these after ten races; the latest was a C&D handicap (good to firm) six weeks ago and he raised his game to win it in tidy style from off the pace, but with only six runners and he's 6lb higher in this much tougher contest; sold for £250,000 on Monday.

Consistency seems far less evident in the last year or so but one trend has developed, as he's 3-13 on AW compared to 0-11 on turf; AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call here.
