Form & Verdict
No doubting his consistency and he appeared to have no problem with the drop in trip when beaten a neck and a nose into third of 11 over C&D last Friday; visor returns, but a record of 1-32 is hard to ignore.

Returned to form when winning two classified events at Southwell (1m) last month but he flopped in his hat-trick bid there (handicap) last time; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and he's 1-17 on turf.

Goes well at the track and he arrives chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back C&D wins in classified company; sneaking up the weights but another bold bid is expected.

It took her 15 attempts to get off the mark, but she now bids for a hat-trick from another 3lb higher after wins over C&D and at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; likely to play a big part again.

Three most recent wins have come over C&D, the latest in March; has remained in form, though she bled from the nose when third at Southwell (7f) in April; if showing no ill effects she shouldn't be too far away.

Five-time AW winner who has form figures of 25131 over C&D since January; her last success was in a bunch finish but she responded well to cheekpieces and is only 2lb higher here; respected.

Form & Verdict
In good form since returning from 403 days off in February with cheekpieces applied, just touched off in a handicap over C&D and going one better in a 0-50 classified event at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta); has a higher mark to contend with back in a handicap, but still respected.
