Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere.

Her last win was off 1lb lower over C&D in November and she ran well when third at Chelmsford (1m2f) on Thursday; usually races prominently and she could make another bold bid from stall one.
