Tended to do his winning in the past in batches, which bodes well under a 4lb penalty for last Monday's Kempton victory; well over two years snice he won off a mark this high and hasn't been at his best in two previous runs here but needs considering.

Won three last March, latterly off 8lb higher, and two the spring before; back in form when second to Helm Bay eight days ago and has every chance of turning the tables on 4lb better terms, going in first-time cheekpieces this evening.

Not as good now, finishing some way off the front three when among the favourites at Doncaster last time; remains on a competitive mark, given a rare attempt without headgear, but has lost the winning habit (dry since his 3yo days).

Five-time Kempton winner who boasts a consistent record round here too; solid comeback from over three months off over C&D last month and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has never won off a mark this high.

Two wins to his name from four starts over C&D and his latest effort, behind Artician, is probably best overlooked (reared as the stalls opened); back on a workable mark and is adaptable regarding tactics, which will help from stall 11.
