Just one win in his first 18 starts but he doubled his tally when coming from off the pace to score at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 3lb but that was a brave win and he shaped as though this trip should be within range; respected.

Second in a Group 2 for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo before proving hard to place last year; found his level again but twice turned over at short prices recently (latest third has been boosted since) and has stamina to prove upped from 1m back on the AW.

J: Duran Fentiman

Made it 3-6 since joining Daragh Bourke when winning at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) ten days ago, when she idled in front and was value for more than the 0.75l winning margin; went close over 16.2f at Newcastle previously; she might still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb for last time; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Dual Leicester winner who made it second-time lucky on AW when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago; still looks feasibly treated off 3lb higher but he's untried at this trip and his best turf form has been on good to firm; some reservations.
