10yo who was tailed off over hurdles a fortnight ago but respectable fourth here (2m1f, good) last month and he won twice here last season (1m6f/1m5f, good to firm/firm); could give a good account.

Solid effort in better company at Ascot (winner and fourth gone in subsequently) three weeks ago having won off 3lb lower at Brighton; hard to be certain about him on this ground but is one to consider for a yard in good nick.

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player.

Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis.
