Winner on his second start for this yard when scoring by a short-head in first time blinkers over 5f on the AW here three weeks ago. Races off a 4lb higher mark here on just his second turf start.
Four time winner for connections and running well enough in defeat so far in 2017. Beaten 3L when finishing fourth of ten over an extended 5f at Bath (good-to-firm) earlier this month and wears cheekpieces for the first time in this.
Head winner of a 6f handicap at Brighton (good-to-firm) in April but disappointed twice since. Rated 3lb higher than for that Brighton success and needs to bounce back today.
Brighton winner off a 6lb lower mark on good ground early last month but disappointing when a beaten odds-on favourite on good-to-soft going over the same C&D two weeks ago. Return to forecast better ground should suit.
Regular runner on the AW here and successful over 5f in that sphere in February. Last turf effort came off a 3lb higher mark on soft ground at Windsor last October and more needed to take this.
Finished 1½L second over an extended 5f at Bath (good-to-firm) earlier this month and beaten the same distance when fifth at Wolverhampton on the AW last time out. Rated 6lb lower than for his latest turf success in August 2015.
Beaten a neck at Brighton (good-to-firm) over an extended 5f last time out.. Sole success came on his 24th outing when running at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) in April and races off a 5lb higher mark here.

TAILWIND can follow up last months AW success here by taking this turf contest off a 4lb higher mark. The selection is lightly raced for one his age and having had just two starts for this yard remains open to improvement. Of his rivals here Otomo should be suited by the better ground he is likely to encounter here while Rosealee can claim third wearing cheekpieces for the first time.
