21/10

Comment: Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 23121 since the end of March; up another 5lb but he put in a dominant display over C&D (good to soft) last time and remains well handicapped on old form; big player again in his bid for a 12th career win.

Comment: Two sprint wins last summer, including over 6f here (soft); solid efforts in four of his five runs this season and was only beaten around 2l when he raced alone on far side at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; now goes back up in trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade.

Comment: Started off for Tony Carroll with four AW wins in January/February (9.4f-1m3f); now only 1lb higher than for last success but he's been quiet in last two runs and latest was at this track (1m2f) ten days ago; that took his Flat turf record to 0-9 and others are preferred; cheekpieces removed.

Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: P R Chamings Age/Wt: 7/9-12 F: 75-159 OR: 67

Comment: Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, good to firm) on his seasonal return but he's been well held on Polytrack and turf in two subsequent runs; has won twice over C&D in the past but he's not easy to predict and needs to get back in the groove again.
