He won three C&D handicaps last season (two on soft, one on good) but slow starts have been a thorn in his side this time around; broke more sharply when second at Bath on Wednesday and he should go well back at this track.

Four-time C&D winner who finished second in this race in 2022; came back from a 685-day absence at the start of this month and that run, alongside the two that followed, don't suggest he's retained that old ability; risky at present.

Attracted some support ahead of his recent stable debut and he shaped well with a front-running third of ten at Nottingham (5f, soft; clear 2f out); more appealing than many.

Three 5f wins this season (two here, good to soft, good to firm and firm); not at her best over C&D (good) last week but she's the type to bounce back quickly; one to take seriously.

5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights.
