Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 95| D

9/2

Two wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/4) on latest start in February. Resumes on a 8 lb higher mark and upped in class, so more is needed.

5/2

Latest win at Goodwood in July. Bit below form 8½ lengths fourth of 9 to Tulip Fields in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 9/2) 25 days ago. Will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Johnny Drama (11/8), Cepheus (5/2), Pirate King (9/2), Tulip Fields (11/2), Tonyx (6/1), Singing The Blues (16/1)

JOHNNY DRAMA looked very much at home on this surface when making a winning all-weather debut here last time. He remains on a workable mark and is taken to strike again. Cepheus, like Johnny Drama, was behind Tulip Fields at Doncaster in October, but he went close on his sole previous visit here and will be a big threat under Ryan Moore if back to his best. Tonyx also merits respect.
