Form & Verdict
Four Lingfield AW wins (three at 7f) since joining Jim Boyle in the autumn, including under today's rider Billy Loughnane; too keen when last of seven over 8.6f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago but ought to be happier back at Lingfield and over shorter.

Has nothing to prove under the conditions having won five times over 7f-1m here during the winter, but they were all at Class 6 level and she may again find this sort of company a shade warm.

Two classified wins last month (including C&D) and made it three in a row back in handicap company at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; this is a slightly stronger affair but he can't be ruled out in his current mood.

Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally.

Mostly campaigned on AW but he's now 2-9 on turf having landed C&D classified (good to firm) in June and Lingfield handicap (7f, good) last Tuesday; took advantage of a golden highway that day but did well to pick his way through from the rear and he's respected under a 5lb penalty (1lb well in).

In good form in the depths of winter, winning two 7f handicaps at Chelmsford; edging back down the weights after some below-par runs but returning to 5f, even in a race that is highly likely to be run at a fast pace, is unlikely to revive his fortutnes.

Beaten around 5l in a pair of 7f Kempton handicaps in recent months; will need improvement to go close but he's low mileage and Tom Marquand (2-11 for the yard) is a good booking.

Sole win from 19 starts came here on the AW over 7f in January and she ran well here over 6f 19 days ago, keeping on into third to do best of those from off the pace; step back up in trip will suit but he's yet to be placed in four starts on turf.
