On what is now a low mark with the jockey on board being able to claim a further 3 lb off which will help.

Also does his best work on this sort of ground so looks tough to beat in a small field.

This previous four-time course and distance winner looks a big price here with Rossa Ryan booked to ride.

The horse has won off this mark in the past and blinkers are back on. He last won a race when wearing them so that has to be seen as a major positive.

Thapa Vc also steps down in Class tonight.
