3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success.

18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running.

Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before).

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner and a fair maiden hurdler; didn't achieve much in his first four Flat runs but he was sent off favourite for a 1m6f handicap at Chelmsford in February and plugged on for a close third; can do better in this sphere but dropping back to 8.6f not sure to suit.

Bumper winner and a fair maiden hurdler; 0-6 on the Flat but he was a good third in a Chelmsford handicap (1m6f) in February and the drop to back to 8.6f looked against him at Wolverhampton last time; should get a good tow into this race and he could be dangerous back up in trip.
