Seemingly back in good form at Southwell (6f) a fortnight ago, where she was denied a clear run before keeping on for fourth; remains 5lb below her last winning mark and will be suited by today's return to 7f; good chance.

Form & Verdict
6f winner in Ireland (stays further); confirmed the promise of his first two runs for Grant Tuer when easily landing a 6f handicap here last month; unpenalised when following up back here four days later; now 7lb higher in his hat-trick bid but doubt it's beyond him.

Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers).

Ran very well on his racecourse debut but slim pickings since; however, much more encouragement when fourth of ten at Kempton 13 days ago (1m; first time in this combination of accessories) and dropping back to 7f shouldn't be a problem.

Represents a trainer and jockey who have had excellent winters but he's yet to be placed in nine outings; possibly failed to stay 1m at Southwell two weeks ago; cannot be discounted with the combination of tongue-strap/blinkers on for the first time, but he carries obvious risks.
