Form & Verdict
Made the frame off basement handicap mark at Southwell (7f) last month and recent defeat over that trip at Wolverhampton is best overlooked, given he was lit up by the first-time blinkers (now removed) and had far too much use made of him; yet to fully convince over 1m, though.

Broke his duck at the 22nd attempt when landing six-runner Newcastle classified (1m, Tapeta) under Myla Coppins last month but didn't built on that in two handicaps over that C&D subsequently; might do better back in this sphere.

Finally got off the mark in classified event over C&D in February and he backed it up with a good fourth of nine in C&D handicap 15 days ago; races off a 5lb higher mark here but still ought to be thereabouts.

T: Tony Carroll

Made it 22nd-time lucky when seeing off Esque Elegance in a C&D classified contest (11-2) nine days ago; factoring in tonight's riding arrangements he's 3lb worse off with the reopposing runner-up, so whether he can confirm superiority is debatable.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish maiden who has made the frame on the last two of her four stable starts, more recently when third in 7f handicap here last month; ought to be suited by this return to 1m; big player, provided removal of usual cheekpieces doesn't backfire.

Finally got off the mark at 21st time of asking when seeing off 13 rivals over 1m at Newcastle (AW) under Conor Whiteley nine days ago; should be very competitive under a 5lb penalty if showing up in a similar mood.

Still a maiden after 20 starts but she's had two seconds in C&D handicaps this year and was close up when sixth over 7f here (first-time visor) last time; should go well again back up in trip and she's in the mix.
