Expensive to follow thus far but he has finished second in two of his four starts; heavy ground a valid excuse for a poor run on his handicap debut three weeks ago; down in class and back on a sound surface so some optimism for better this afternoon.

Losing run goes back nearly a year but he might have won over C&D last July but for being hampered and is on a handy mark now; a recent Tapeta run (hood left off, now refitted) suggests a good run is imminent.

All runs on AW, most recently an encouraging third at Kempton on his reappearance 19 days ago (7f); makes his handicap debut off a fair mark but sharp test at this trip not sure to be optimal.

Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender.
