Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him.

Ex-Irish gelding who made it 3-4 on Tapeta (found 5f an inadequate test the other occasion) and 2-3 for this yard when winning an apprentice handicap under Jack Nicholls a fortnight ago; only 2lb higher and has every chance of completing the hat-trick.

Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted.

0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light.

Won for Julie Camacho at Beverley (7.5f; good to firm; from 3lb lower) last July; respectable across three starts for this trainer but does have some work to do with Saisons d'Or from Southwell (fifth, beaten 3l in an added tongue-tie); the task isn't impossible.

Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.
