Form & Verdict
His last win was in October 2022 but he's on a reduced mark and ran his best race for some time when runner-up behind a resurgent rival at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last Saturday; that was a good effort after an awkward start and has claims if he can back that up.

Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form with a front-running second in a classified event at Southwell (6f, Tapeta; 22-1) on Thursday but this looks tougher back in a handicap and his record now stands at 1-28; others are more persuasive.

Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form.

J: Cian Horgan

Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft.

Reliable mare who has form figures of 223413 this year and that latest was an eyecatching effort over C&D 12 days ago; should get a decent tow into this race and she's respected.
