Form & Verdict
Much improved in this headgear combination on AW debut a fortnight ago with forcing tactics adopted over C&D from same low draw, keeping on well in beating Monvoe 0.5l (third-placed Badger's Cove won here last week); 7lb higher but capable 5lb claimer negates much of that; remains in same grade and has to be respected.

No wins from seven starts in Ireland for Claire O'Connell but a good effort at Dundalk (Polytrack) on penultimate start for that yard showed she acts on AW; subject of a gamble on her stable debut at Wolverhampton (also 6f, Tapeta; drawn wide) but she wilted late having had to put in an early shift; draw has not been overly kind again so interesting to see how she goes in the market this time.

Left maiden form well behind to score by a neck on AW/handicap debut over C&D in November; out of luck in two runs since, repeatedly denied a clear run and clipped a heel to finish sixth in December (6f) and caught very wide rounding the bend last month when a 10.5l seventh; claimer takes off 7lb now, while cheekpieces go on; no surprise to see him feature.
