Currently 2-3 on Tapeta but he's generally struggled since leaving Karl Burke, his only win coming when allowed his own way in a small field last summer (been dropped in lately); the first-time tongue-tie will need to make a difference.

5-24; hit by the handicapper after making all at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June, and has taken a while to come back down the weights (now 3lb below that winning mark); posted low-key seasonal reappearance at Leicester; cheekpieces introduced seeking more.

Scored off 3lb higher at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June but he's not come close to that form since and was seventh of nine on Leicester reappearance last month; plenty to prove and four of his five wins were as 2yo; cheekpieces added.

Three wins for George Boughey (two on AW), signing off with a 6f AW second at Wolverhampton; bought for 21,000gns in October and too keen on yard debut at Dundalk in March (7f); never dangerous back there later that month; improvement needed.

Form & Verdict
Back to winning ways with a game C&D win four weeks ago (good to soft); fine on good to firm and should be bang there despite a small rise in the weights.

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today.

Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things.

Has reached the frame on several occasions for current yard but she was beaten 5l when third at Southwell (5f, AW) last month and that took her overall record to 0-18; others look stronger.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Mike Murphy

Not yet off the mark but she hasn't always had the rub of the green for this yard and her latest run might have been needed; has run well on Wolverhampton Tapeta but this is her first course run so she does have a slight surface query.

Form & Verdict
Finished third, beaten over 4l, by two useful opponents at Kempton in March (7f); those in behind him have done less for the form though and he makes his handicap debut over a new trip with improvement required.

Promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last March on his second start but has beaten only one rival in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation at this new trip; cheekpieces added.
