C&D winner; stayed on well to land a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March and two defeats since have come over 6f; latest Lingfield effort was much better than the distance beaten suggests; 5f on quick ground suits ideally and more patient tactics in a well-run race could pay dividends.

Reliable operator on AW and has finished within 1.5l of the winner in each of his five starts this winter; new visor replaces cheekpieces; likely to be in the thick of it.

Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade.

Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well.

Form & Verdict
Last season's two standout efforts came over 5f at Thirsk, including a handicap win off 4lb lower; effective on AW and the booking of Billy Loughnane suggests he'll be forward enough on his return from 167 days off.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.
