Form & Verdict
29 starts without a win since successful on his second outing as a 2yo, but he has run well in all four starts over 6f here since returning to the AW in October (looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of ten eight days ago); has the form to figure, but is yet another with something to prove back at 5f.

Still 3lb below his last winning mark and has been well supported in each of his last two starts at Southwell (5f, Tapeta), faring better when fourth of eight 11 days ago; interesting to see if his backers return.

J: Rhys Elliott

Fairly useful at his best but has not won for nearly three years; has slipped a fair way in the weights and stepped up on reappearance form when respectable fifth at Ayr last time, only his third run for the yard; more to do, not least from this draw.

Form & Verdict
Very much a mixed bag since returning to the AW in October, winning three times over 6f/7f but finishing out of the frame on the other four occasions; not sure what to expect, but he has questions to answer over this trip even if at the top of his game.

Conditions won't be an issue and he's not on a bad mark but he was sold cheaply out of Brian Ellison's yard in May and he's landed the widest stall on his return from 168 days off.

Form & Verdict
Dual winner over 6f here in October (the first of them off this mark) and has run well to finish fourth over the same trip back here and at Southwell the last twice; a contender on those efforts, but not sure the return to 5f will be of benefit.

Form & Verdict
Hinted at ability in her first three starts in maidens (debut was for Roger Varian), but has not built on it in three handicaps including when well held over C&D in October (first start after wind surgery); enough to prove returning from 86 days off.

Often a front-runner whose seven wins have all come over C&D; 16lb below the most recent, but that was in September 2020 and he certainly needs to step up on recent efforts.

Eight-time C&D winner who's into the veteran stage and on the downgrade, arriving on a losing run of 18; is entitled to have come on for last month's Southwell run, following a short break, and the return here will suit.
