Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred.

Often makes the running, but was held up from his wide draw when disappointing over C&D 15 days ago; back off the same mark as when dead-heating here in April and drawn well if reverting to positive tactics; stable also runs Gogo Yubari.

Made it 2-2 over C&D when winning nicely under Jack Doughty 17 days ago; up another 5lb but thriving just now and has to be taken very seriously indeed.

Handy sort who has won seven times over C&D, the latest in January; likely to try his best, but he finished over 3l behind Coolagh Magic here last time and a 5lb pull may not be enough for him to reverse the placings.
