Posted two cracking efforts in defeat over C&D last season, but he lost his way thereafter on ground too quick. The veteran showed a bit more verve on his first outing since a wind op here earlier this month and the yard's runners do seem to be running better now as well. One of his owners was unlucky not to land a gamble on Burning It Up at Newcastle the other day and the son of Presenting is racing off a 14lb lower mark if taking Hislop's 10lb claim into account. Moreover, severe headgear is introduced, which could prove just the motivator.

Travelled super well over an extended 2m4f here earlier in the month before fading from 3 out. That was effectively his first run of the season after unseating on Boxing Day, so he should strip fitter for the run. Reverting to an extended 2m and a drop in class shouldn't hamper his bid and I'm surprised by the generous odds.

Going for a Dutch, actually think the other one is more of a rick, but this one is under more pressure. Travelled with a lot more verve in first-time cheekpieces over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time, but didn’t see the trip out after looking likely to play a leading role turning in. The yard are in fantastic form and warrant the utmost of respect when venturing north judged by a treble at Newcastle recently.
