Had a near miss at Thirsk on his seasonal return but that hasn't proved a springboard to better things; now 5lb lower though and more serious headgear could focus his mind; Oisin Murphy booked.

Form & Verdict

Just one win in nine runs and has been expensive to follow, including when a disappointing 5-2 chance last time at Lingfield; however, now returns from a gelding operation and he does have the ability to do some damage off this mark.

Form & Verdict

Record on turf sits at 0-22 but he is a four-time AW winner and comes here on the back of an unlucky third at Leicester last week, having to wait for a gap as the principals stole a march on him; this is a stronger race but Richard Kingscote replaces a 7lb claimer and he's a big player.

Form & Verdict

Returned to action with a cosy C&D win in April (good; handles most ground) and then went close at Goodwood the following month (6f, heavy); his progress has stalled more recently but this is an ease in grade and a revival isn't out of the question.
