Has never been in better form following 5f wins on good to soft at Newmarket and here

10lb above his last winning mark but penultimate Listed run was his best yet

Very solid form claims based on his recent win and placed form on turf

Couldn't deal with Dream Composer here three weeks ago; 5lb better off with the winner

Looked good on the AW in March and excuses since; perhaps better at 6f than 5f
6 (4)	The Defiant Bay J:Jefferson Smith T:Daniel Steele	J:Jefferson Smith T:Daniel Steele	116	t	9-6723	76	103	67	13d	—	—	+4	7.6	4.75/1	20 5%
Tends to ply his trade at a lower level and it's not ideal being 7lb out of the weights
