His last success was over C&D but that was in December 2021; now 14lb lower than for that win but he finished down the field in his final three runs last winter and comes with risks attached after 186 days off.

J: William Pyle

T: David & Nicola Barron

Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty.

No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success.

Both wins came at around 1m on Tapeta last autumn but she's finished down the field in her last five runs; soft ground may have caused her downfall at Beverley last time but she needs to rediscover her spark back in this sphere.

In good form at Catterick (7f) this summer with a win and two seconds but she's been well below form on turf and Tapeta in last two runs; goes back up in trip but she's 0-9 on AW and others are preferred; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.
