All of his wins have been on good or slower including on heavy ground; four-time turf winner who made it 2-5 at Bath when scoring off a reduced mark (5.6f) three weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and this drop back in trip is no problem; key player.

Both wins have come on soft ground and latest was at Chepstow (5f) last month; three creditable efforts since then and was only beaten 2l over C&D (heavy) last time, when the blindfold was removed late; looks interesting on this drop back in grade and a bold show is expected.

Eight-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was at Bath (5.7f, firm) in June and he was a creditable third back here (5.7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if this sets up for the closers.

Justified favouritism in first-time blinkers at Lingfield (6f, good) in August but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs; effective on soft ground but all of his wins have been over 6f and he looks opposable back at this trip.

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.
