Form & Verdict
Two C&D wins last year; running okay on AW over the winter but he dropped in the weights and returned to form with a Nottingham success 18 days ago (5f, good; front pair clear); with the short-priced favourite refusing to race, that may not have been the strongest form but a 3lb rise is manageable; Sean Levey, who rode both Robert Cowell's last-time-out winners, is on Tourist this time.

Enthusiastic sprinter; heavily backed on stable debut at Bath three weeks ago (5f, good to firm) and overcame a tardy start to win decisively; the handicapper hasn't missed him with a 6lb rise but the way he travelled through that Bath contest offers hope of better; previous AW efforts lag behind his turf best but that could just be coincidence (sire has a higher strike-rate on AW than turf); strong claims.
