Both wins on turf have been at Yarmouth over 7f and he's also won twice on the AW; went close at Southwell (1m, AW) in January but he did too much too soon there 20 days ago; claims if settling better.

Twice won back to back and has been knocking on the door of late, loudest when going down by a neck over C&D in January; player if he's not too fresh back from a short break and can be settled.

Record of 2-4 since upped to 1m includes a C&D win; good third off this mark at Southwell most recently; may still have more to offer at this distance and warrants respect.

Won two of his last five starts (with and without headgear), scrambling home at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise not excessive and he has a good strike-rate for one of his rating; chance.

Off the mark in turf event in September; has form on AW but folded tamely and failed to beat a rival in last two attempts in this sphere; not the percentage call.

Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.

Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip.
