In sparkling form since making his return, recording a hat-trick of C&D victories; up 6lb and drawn wide but similar burdens didn't stop him last time; can't discount in current mood.

Half-brother to useful Australian Group-race performer Rock Hero; displayed plenty of encouragement in recent barrier trials; looks an interesting prospect and Zac Purton takes the reins.

Gained his fifth career victory when scoring over C&D in July; has ran with credit in all three starts this season and holds place hopes at least from a good draw under his promising claimer; tongue-tie first time.

Five-time winner and is more than capable of making an impact from this mark; however, he appears to be more comfortable over 6f nowadays and is vulnerable to more progressive rivals here. |

Has modest 1-20 strike rate but only lost out by a short head after game attempt to make all over Happy Valley's 6f in September; failed to justify the support on his next start when everything looked in his favour and now Zac Purton jumps ship.

Beat only one rival home on his sole start last season but looked to have improved for the break and a change of scenery two weeks ago; should strip fitter today and with scope for further improvement could be a lively outsider.
