C&D winner who hasn't shown much lately, but is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in February and is better drawn than he was back here last time; worth a second look, especially if backed.

Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight.

In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted.

Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw.

Won a 1m maiden claimer (soft) at Bellewstown in October, his only win from 17 starts in Ireland; stayed on for a close third in a 5f handicap at Dundalk ten weeks ago; starts out for Tony Carroll in a useful event for the grade but he is well worth a market check.

His five AW wins include one over this C&D; below his best at Bath (5.5f, good to soft) last time on his first start for 74 days but he was running well prior to that and returns to the AW off a handy mark; cheekpieces, worn last time, are discarded.

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted.

Some good efforts in defeat in 7f turf handicaps last summer but successfully returned to sprints this year, winning at Bath (5f, good) and 6f (good to firm) on this track; perhaps good to soft ground counted against her last time but needs more off her current mark back at 7f.
