Could only manage sixth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently when a narrow second (18.55) over 320m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, not likely to feature on this occasion.
