Not quite at best this term but handicapper has given him a real chance having been dropped 6lb for three runs and this the lowest class he has seen for a while so no surprise should he bounce back.
Won on his sole visit here in 2019 and his reappearance win from a poor draw at Kempton had him down a much improved sprinter. Ran well in the face of a very stiff task at Goodwood recently and must go close in this company.
5lb lower than his C&D win last September but has beaten just the one rival in three runs this summer and first time tongue-tie needs to see him bounce back in a big way.
Capable of some decent form at his best but has been below that for a while and has been sold from Rober Cowell's yard for 9,000 gns since last seen.
Won a weak contest at Kempton in February but has struggled since than and first-time cheekpieces are going to have quite a transformation to see him bounce back to trouble the best of these.
Out of sorts this year but now back on her preferred surface and is 7lb lower than the last time she was on the AW when scoring at Newcastle last summer. Has also won here in 2019 so clearly well treated if back to her best.
Broke his maiden here over a year ago and although he doubled his career tally at Lingfield this winter, he has been below that form since and others make more appeal.
Defied top weight over 6f here last month and now tries 5f for the first time in his career but does travel strongly and it could well suit though rise in class probably a bigger concern.
Rare run away from his beloved Southwell and still above last winning mark despite the fact that was 11 runs ago so not hard to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Benny And The Jets (5/4), Absolutio (7/2), Cowboy Soldier (11/2), Sir Oliver (6/1), Grandfather Tom (6/1), Steelriver (8/1), Yolo Again (16/1), Dazzling Des (16/1), The Daley Express (28/1), Samovar (33/1), Jumira Bridge (66/1)
BENNY AND THE JETS ran really well in a far stronger race at Goodwood last time and his AW form is also very strong so he is a confident selection to be another winner for the Champion jockey. Cowboy Soldier will relish the easier grade and may give the selection most to do while any support for Yolo Again would make her of interest back on the AW and she looks best of the rest.
