Form & Verdict
Four wins since the autumn, the latest over C&D last month; placed twice off today's mark on Tapeta since (8.6f/1m) and had some excuses when only fifth in higher-grade race at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last time; probably won't be far away.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: David Simcock

A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance.

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.
