Ran below market expectations (favourite) when ninth here over 1m½f (handicap, behind Gamer) last month; he can be competitive at this level; encouraging jockey booking; more than capable if on song so prospects.

Vava Vegas lines up on the back of some good efforts but GUERILLA WARFARE gets the nod. C&D winners Sheets And Goggles, Michael Faraday and Vava Vegas are respected, and Sheets And Goggles has a good draw and is shortlisted.
