Finished ninth of 12 three weeks ago upped to 7f; can be a player at this level and from powerful stable; he has a shout as should be sharper for his recent return to action and inside berth could lead to a ground-saving trip.

Ninth of 12 in November upped to 7f; although below par last time out, is better than that judged on previous efforts; he should go close if finding his best form.

Verdict

A wide-open contest. Turbo Power has winning C&D form while the well drawn Banyan and Turbo Power are potential players here. However, best of these might be HIS LORDSHIP. He looks to hold the edge over his main dangers on recent evidence (won last time) and has been a winner over the trip.
