J: Rossa Ryan

Won twice for Michael Dods last season, both on good ground over 6f and 7f; only 1lb higher than for the latter success and his reappearance at Doncaster in March can be overlooked as he was drawn on the wrong side and also got no run 1f out; this might just be a shade too competitive for him.

Back in clover at Beverley (7.5f) this month, registering a first success since joining current yard; still favourably treated and is capable of doing a double, having recorded back-to-back wins last year; appealing.

He hasn't run over this trip since his 2yo debut; had some solid form last year and he raced as though the run would sharpen him up on his recent Doncaster reappearance (7f, good to firm; first run after wind surgery), tying up in the final furlong; better can be expected today.

Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right.
