Already due a 6lb rise for recent narrow AW defeat and has form on turf; strong claims

Runner-up in his last two starts; remains open to further progress now handicapping

Not beaten far on handicap debut last time and drops in grade; can make presence felt

Returns from 167 days off and will need to settle better to see out the extra furlong

Running well in defeat and should run his race, but more is probably needed for the win

Not bred to stay this far so something to prove now making his handicap/turf debut.
