Not very consistent; still 3lb higher than for his easy win over C&D in January and his last three efforts leave plenty to be desired, as when making little impression at Kempton (6f, Polytack) on Wednesday.
Recorded yet another placing when third of ten at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) 11 days ago, but that took his record to 0-17; drops to a 0-60 for the first time and should go well, but others are preferred for the win.

Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw.

Not at his best of late, but has dropped 8lb lower than when successful over C&D in January; needs a resurgence, but is too well handicapped to ignore.

Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more.
