Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week.

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.
