Front-runner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all in a handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm) a week ago; drops in class but this is the shortest trip he has tackled, which is a concern (all five wins over 7f).

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.
