Seems to act on most ground; nine-time winner who is on a hat-trick after a brace of wins at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; it was in his nursery days that he last scored off a mark this high, but he can't be ignored in current mood.

Battled well to win from the front over C&D (good) 17 days ago, his second success this season; ought to give another good account but recent 2lb nudge could be enough to leave him vulnerable.

No longer the force of old but was close third off today's career-low mark here (6f, good) eight days ago; eased in grade today and can handle the drop back to 5f; must be considered.

Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch.

Got off the mark at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; didn't look in love with the track when down the field at Windsor subsequently and a line can also be put through his last run at Bath when he was almost brought down when about to deliver his chance; not one to give up on.

Bath blowout in the spring can be ignored but he started a big price when last of seven on his return from a break a fortnight ago; while the return to the AW may do the trick, others hold stronger claims.
