Matching Energy was beaten into second last time out, but a fifth and an eighth before that, a faller four starts back and a 194-day break make him hard to fancy, while 151 lb is a lot to carry. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going before, and he won five starts back.

174 days since last run
