Scored back-to-back wins on the AW at Kempton earlier in the year both times off higher marks and shaped well back on the surface after a break. Still yet to prove himself on turf though despite the lower mark and best watched for now.
Goes well at this course and made up for an unsuccessful gamble here over further by winning the next day over a mile (again well supported). Not without a chance of following up here and a bold bid is expected.
His last win came here but the losing run has been stacking up a little since then and he fan poorly here last time out over 7f. Steps up a little in distance now and a consistent enough sort he may be able to run into a place.
Has his first run for a new yard here having run abysmally when last seen out in December on the AW. His only run came on the turf off a lowly mark but there is a slight question mark over that form as the hood goes on for the first time.
The only mare in the field she failed to settle on her last run here (her first for this yard) and even off a basement mark she has plenty to prove here.

Buzz Lightyere (8/11), Stormbound (9/4), Papou Tony (9/2), Rock Icon (11/2), With Approval (6/1), Alketios (7/1), Play The Blues (50/1)
Another fairly uninspiring contest with the two course specialist BUZZ LIGHTYERE and Stormbound holding the most interest with the former getting the vote due to his better recent form. With Papou Tony yet to prove himself on turf the battle for the places looks to be between With Approval and Alketios although his finishing effort does leave a little to be desired.
