J: Warren Fentiman

T: Kevin Ryan

Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid.

Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again.

Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 4-1 or shorter on eight occasions, including in three runs this season; pulled hard and hit traffic back from a break latest and is down to 0-55 company for the first time, so will be popular on his Polytrack debut.

It looked as if his turn may be near when third on his final three starts of 2024 (twice over C&D); beat only one home when last seen 166 days ago but he was hampered inside the final furlong; usually held up so needs things to drop right.
