Form & Verdict
Record since the hood went on reads 1121811, most of his wins coming at Newcastle but also proving his effectiveness here when successful over C&D on his penultimate outing; carries a 5lb penalty for his Newcastle win (6f, Tapeta) on Saturday, but drops in grade; major player.

Form & Verdict
Was having his second start back from 144 days off when beaten 2l into third of ten in an amateur riders' event at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last month; down another 1lb since, but that took his losing run to 23 so even more will be needed.

7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form.

No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes.
