Form & Verdict

Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though.
