Surely would have gone very close had he kept straight when ½-length fourth behind Barnsnape Boy over C&D last time and looks the pick of the Scott Dixon trio.

Maiden who has been expensive to follow for current connections, but he again settled better when going close under this claimer in a similar event at Bath last time and looks ready for another crack at this trip.

Extended a lengthy losing sequence when trailing the field at Southwell in late-February and while he has a promising claimer on for his return, it's hard to be confident.
