13th time lucky when making his breakthrough at Southwell 11 days ago (6f), hanging across to the far rail but drawing clear with the runner up; that effort backed up by the clock and he's one to take seriously under penalty.

Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf.

Form & Verdict
Impossible to crab his consistency with his 17 runs for Tony Carroll seeing him record an RPR between 67 and 74, the latest good run coming here on Monday (7f); on the downside, he hasn't won any of them and he may have to make do with more minor money today.

Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear.

Form & Verdict
Infrequent winner but she comes here on the back of a good second to a thriving rival at Newcastle a fortnight ago; unexposed in the visor and this could be run to suit; another with each-way claims in a competitive race for the grade.

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor.
