Winning pointer who was making it 17th-time lucky under rules when beating Zoffalee over C&D (good) nine days ago; 1lb wrong there so 6lb higher under his penalty, but even so with conditions likely to be similar he has to make the shortlist.

Sole win remains a dead-heat in a Welsh maiden point in 2022, but second in this race in 2023 and there was some encouragement to take from this month's Warwick fourth on his second outing following a sizeable layoff.

Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring.

Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause.
