Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022.

Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims.

Multiple winner who arrives in form, his success at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January followed by solid third at Kempton (also about 2m, Polytrack) a fortnight later; ran well for second over extended 2m2f here three weeks ago and just as effective over this shorter trip; warrants respect.

Kept on well to hang on to her lead when making handicap debut at Windsor (extended 1m3f) last May; has run some sound races since, including on Tapeta (1m6f) in October, and perhaps just needed the run at Kempton (1m3f) 12 days ago; shouldn't be far away.

Mixed form in three qualifying runs in the spring but she made a solid start in handicaps when a close third of six at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) two weeks ago; that was behind The Bay Warrior but she should benefit from that run and is open to more progress at this trip; possibilities.

Smart middle-distance pedigree; didn't get close to that level when reaching the frame in three qualifying runs at up to 1m4f on AW in February/March but no surprise were she to prove a different proposition for her top yard now handicapping after 169 days off; all the more interesting if backed.
