All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style.
