W: 9st 9lb

4 yo Gelding

OR: 91

Form & Verdict
Both handicap wins when held up in maximum field over C&D (last winter, first came in this race when it was a 0-90); couldn't seriously threaten Cool Party, and one other, in tactical affair over track and trip four weeks ago and chance today probably hinges on them going quicker early.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Michael Bell

Eight AW wins, two last winter in 2m handicaps; however, he failed to beat a rival in Group 3 at Sandown (2m, good) on turf return, has tons to prove on turf record (0-5) and even best AW form does not look good enough.

Progressive on AW in the winter with 2m handicap wins at Kempton and Newcastle; however, only fifth of 12 at Newcastle (2m) last month and the suitability of turf is questionable.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 79

Form & Verdict
This 4yo is on the up and he's won his last three completed starts; the horse he beat at Salisbury in October was bidding for a hat-trick and the rival he beat at Southwell last time had won five of his last six starts; looks the one to beat in receipt of 8lb plus.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground.

Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength.

In and out on his five runs since returning from an absence in October but he's won three of them, most recently at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January; has also won on Tapeta; this steadily progressive 6yo has gone up just 2lb for last time and could again be involved; cheekpieces go on.

Form & Verdict
Changed hands for 250,000euros this time last year after winning three races in France; yet to land a serious blow in Britain but good trainer ought to find a race for him sooner rather than later; AW debut.

Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days.

Showed his tactical versatility by rallying once headed after making the running last month then taking a lead before pouncing in the straight a fortnight ago (both C&D); solid claims off just 2lb higher than last time.
