6f and 7f winner at Newcastle (Tapeta); 5lb lower than when scoring there 12 months ago; handy mark but he was well below par over C&D latest and needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been on Kempton's Polytack (7f/1m), though she does act on Tapeta; beaten at odds-on when trying to make it back-to-back wins latest but probably not ideally suited by how that race was run; may still have more to come; player.

C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood.

Triple 7f winner, including over C&D last September when 7lb higher; mostly well below that level of form since but he did shape as if he might be on his way back latest (C&D; switched from blinkers to cheekpieces); handy mark if he can step up on that.
