Form & Verdict
Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.

J: Miss Sarah Bowen

T: Tony Carroll

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

T: Tony Carroll

Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground.

Trainer-jockey combination won this last year and this gelding is on a career-low mark (won for Brodie Hampson last June off 9lb higher); needs to bounce back from a few poor efforts, though, and may just be on the downgrade now; headgear comes off.
