His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported.

Six-time winner (6f/7f), including when coming out on top in a match race under Joe Bradnam at Yarmouth (7f, soft) two weeks ago; has form on the AW over 1m but a 5lb rise for that latest success demands a bit more.

Four of his five wins have come over 6f/7f on the AW, but the other came in emphatic fashion here (6f, good to firm) a year ago; probably ran even better than it looked when third of ten at Lingfield (7f, good) last month and a major player for last year's winning stable.

Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better.
