J: Harry Vigors

T: Patrick Morris

Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid.

Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that.

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many.
