Form & Verdict
His last win was almost two years ago but he's been placed numerous times this year and was only just caught at Brighton (1m, good) on his penultimate run; this drop back in trip is no problem and he has possibilities back on AW.

Has a patchy record but her last two wins have been on Tapeta and latest was in first-time blinkers over C&D (My Opinion second) 16 days ago; up 3lb but she still looks feasibly treated and could be a big factor again.

Losing run goes back to C&D win nearly two years ago but she missed most of 2024 and her May run here, after another break, was quite promising; however, she didn't do as well over C&D recently and looks risky.
