C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement.

Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now.

May remain competitive provided his recent Southwell AW form is transferred back to turf; however, his record in this sphere, which includes a seller win, is less convincing; presents a dilemma.

Ex-French gelding who was unraced at two; made all to land Vichy claimer (very soft) in August and went mighty close for this yard in Leicester seller (good) in October; 25-1 and raced wide before solid fifth of 12 at Kempton (also 7f, AW) in December; showed no improvement in first-time cheekpieces when last of ten on his return at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April and visor returns; best left alone at present.

Bumped into one at Haydock and his subsequent flop as favourite can be ignored, with him said to have pulled too hard on soft ground; this mark ought to be within range.
