Form & Verdict
Dual winner last April (Tapeta/soft turf) who's down to a career-low mark on return from a short break (Newcastle victory came when fresh); lacks consistency and another furlong would have been optimal round here but he's considered at this level.

Placed twice over about 1m on turf since winning readily by 3l over C&D in April and has good claims if judged on those exploits but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August.

Newcastle win last November came over 7f off the same mark in cheekpieces, which are back on tonight; his latest effort over 6f here is best ignored and he's one of the likelier winners.
