Form & Verdict

His two wins have come on Tapeta, once when returning to the visor from cheekpieces (which is the case here), but he's fine on turf and arrives in decent form; is one to consider off a career-low mark.

Hasn't won since his 2yo days, has regressed in recent times and would have preferred more rain; goes back to cheekpieces from a visor and sports a first-time tongue-tie, which will need to make a difference.

Regressive for two yards since her 3yo days and didn't look to have any excuses in 0-50 classified company over C&D last time, albeit she finished a clear second; is odds-on to fluff the start and this is tougher.

Regressive and patchy this season; turned in one of his better efforts on firm ground over C&D last time but these wouldn't be his optimal conditions and he's far from certain to repeat the dose as he bids to end a losing run of 18.

It's getting on for two years since his last win but he's tumbled down the weights and recent signs have been more encouraging, including when hot on the heels of My Delilah and Concierge over C&D last week; should be in the mix once again.

Often misses the break, as he has the past twice here since his C&D win off 3lb lower; otherwise he's closely matched with old rivals Some Nightmare and Second Collection and looks set to go well once more.

Boasts a good record around this time of year and ran away with a Brighton 0-55 from the front last time; that course has always suited him well and, while he's won here, he rarely goes beyond 5f; is drawn to attack but a 10lb rise will test him.
