The winner of two 7f AW handicaps for Scott Dixon; didn't run badly on turf at Lingfield (7f, good) on her penultimate start and her rider takes off a useful 3lb; each-way shout.

Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look.

His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix.

Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time.
