Below par twice since finishing third at Windsor (5f) in September, but his mark is falling, Joe Leavy is a positive booking and blinkers go on for the first time; both his wins have come on AW; might be the answer.

Proved suited by first-time blinkers when winning off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) in October; hasn't been in quite such good form on last three starts so has a bit to prove at present.

Yet to win but placed in five of his ten starts, including both runs last month; not at best last time but his style of racing should be suited to this sharp 5f and he's more appealing than most.

AW specialist (six wins); might have needed his last run after four months off; good second off 1lb higher over C&D in April; often spoils his chance with a slow start but has a chance if getting away on terms.
