J: Charles Bishop

Now 1lb lower than for his Ascot win last summer (1m6f, good to firm) but that is a result of some modest efforts this year, including when back over more suitable trips on his last three starts; others look safer.

Won twice last year, notably a 1m6f handicap at Ascot in July off a 1lb lower mark; well held in five starts since December but this trip more suitable than those he has been tackling and the return of the tongue tie could help; betting should be revealing.

Two wins last year, but hasn't beaten many in four starts over 1m-2m on the AW since returning from over five months off in December; slipping back down the weights, but probably best watched for now; stable also runs Vaguely Royal.
