Prominent racer who won twice at around 7f on turf in the spring but he's been well held in last three runs; has won on AW in the past but he needs to rediscover his spark back in this sphere.

Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C&D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here.

It's now 14 starts since his last success but he comes here in excellent nick, ending up with lot to do when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap six days ago; a player off the same mark for his in-form yard.

Steadily regressive 4yo who is yet to add to his two 2yo wins; ran fairly well when fourth on last two outings, latterly over C&D in refitted cheekpieces, but others in this field have more appealing profiles.
