Form & Verdict
Awarded the race in the stewards' room after receiving a bump over C&D (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month and doesn't look as effective on the AW (well held last time); definite chance if reacting positively to more new headgear.

Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D.

Hard to predict and was out the back at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago but he finished runner-up over hurdles at Chepstow (2m) last month and his last Flat win was off this mark (1m6f, good) last summer; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear.

Well over two years since sole success for a different yard, over 1m4f on soft; questionable whether he can return to that winning level, though was in the process of running a better race over hurdles when unseating in February (off since).
