8lb below last winning mark and 5lb lower than when winning this last year; interesting.

Has been a smart sprinter, but out of the frame in last seven starts; needs a resurgence

Best turf form has come on good or faster ground so would need conditions to dry out

Three wins last year and probably needed his reappearance; shortlisted

0-8 on turf and more needed if he is to win this from 1lb out of the weights
