Irish point winner who justified favouritism at Worcester last June on bumper debut and was a good second over that same C&D (also on good) in July; probably needs to improve again but he's a leading contender.

Beaten 30l on her handicap debut (good to soft) in December but found a big chunk of improvement when down in grade and scoring at 20-1 (also C&D, soft) in February; this race is warmer and she has an 8lb rise to contend with but is unexposed.
