J: George Wood

Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form.

Seven-time course winner, five times on heavy ground; back in good form lately, winning at Chepstow before respectable sixth in higher-grade company at Chester (also 1m2f, good to soft); ought to be hard to beat in these conditions.

Belated regained the winning thread, with eyeshield added, at Ffos Las but has failed to back up that form in two starts since; on a revival mission in the retained headgear combination.

The eyeshield was new (joining blinkers) when winning well at Ffos Las and reportedly unsuited by rain-softened ground when nowhere back there off this 7lb higher mark; could be given another chance; 0-14 on the AW but runner-up three times.
