Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW.

Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked.

Form & Verdict
Exposed 8yo but remains very capable and a slow start was no help when behind Charlie Mason last time at Southwell (6f); does have a tendency to miss the kick (though not always) and that would spell danger from stall one; 6lb higher when a close third in this last year.

Sole win in 7f maiden for Charles Hills but she went down only narrowly in a Thirsk handicap at that trip in September and is now 2lb lower; hasn't shot the lights out for new yard as yet but the return to 7f can suit and adding cheekpieces may also help.

Form & Verdict
Not many 6f handicaps are won by more than 5l but that was the case at Chelmsford where he made the most of a soft lead; this might not pan out so favourably but he's on his game right now and Jack Dace's claim assists with the 9lb rise.
