Three-time AW winner (1m6f-2m) but he's been well held in four hurdle runs since April including a Worcester handicap (2m, good; 33-1); this stiffer stamina test could help but he needs to show a lot more.

Ran no race at Plumpton last month and needs to put that performance behind her but she bumped into a revitalised opponent when second there (2m4f, good to soft; third has won since) two starts ago and has claims if first-time cheekpieces enable her to replicate that form.
