T: Martin Dunne

Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form.

Triple turf winner who is 0-6 on AW surfaces; went close over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time tongue-tie and visor combination) but was well beaten without the visor back here latest; visor now returns but hard to be confident of another better effort.

Form & Verdict
Did well in nurseries once fitted with cheekpieces last season, winning over 6f at Thirsk (soft) and Leicester (good to soft); placed on Tapeta on final two runs; back from a break but she could rate higher this year and she's got the pace to be effective at this shorter trip.

Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates.

Pick of his three runs last year came over C&D when last seen 259 days ago (good to soft; tongue tied first time); gelded afterwards; more to come this year and the market can help with his trainer running three.

Progressive at two, finishing second in 5f nurseries on his final three starts in 2023 (good to firm, good and good to soft; promise on soft); 200-day absence to overcome but he's shown he can be competitive off this mark and he's more appealing than some.
