Hard to know the reason for his near-11 month absence, but showed fair form as a juvenile winnig two fo his four starts. Steps up straight from 7f to 12f, but there is plenty of stamina in his pedigree and represents top yard.
Runner-up on last trhee outings, all in maiden company. Makes handicap bow today and interesting to see how he fares. Shouldn't be far away, but might be vulnerable to anything with a turn of foot.
Likely to set off in front and manner of last effort - when he stayed on again to regain second over 10f - suggests this longer trip might well prove up his street. 2lb rise in weights doesn't help though.
Won extended 9f maiden on A/W at Wolverhampton during the winter but has looked below-par since then, including on last two starts on turf where he cut little ice. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts
Kilowatt (6/5), Londinium (11/8), Davy's Dilemma (3/1), Phoenix Dawn (11/2), Good Time Ahead (14/1)
Expected to be plenty fit enough despite his long absence, LONDINIUM is an interestng contender and should be well served by this longer trip. Despite top weight he looks the one to beat. Phoenix Dawn also moves up in distance and showed a good attitude when runner-up at Salisbury last month, while Davy's Dilemma will certainly stay and is respected, given that he turns out so quickly after his win at Wetherby on Monday. Any market move for handicap debutant Kilowatt would be significant.
