9st 7lb

J: Oisin Murphy

All eight wins come over this trip, including three over C&D, but never off a mark quite this high; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh but the booking of Oisin Murphy is an obvious plus after three months off.

Eight-time winner at the trip, including here; out of form the last twice but the belated return of blinkers (in which he's 9143) could be a positive.

Triple 6f Wolverhampton (AW) winner, the latest in a classified event; that level of form would see him go close but he's a bit to prove after being below par on his last two starts.

All three wins at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), though he has been placed three times from eight starts over this C&D; a losing run of 38 isn't ideal, though; blinkers return.

All wins have come over 6f here, though he has gone close over this trip at Southwell; fair fourth of nine here (6f) a fortnight ago, but a record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution.

Won two in a row over C&D in October 2023 and last success was off 5lb higher; mixed record since then and was down the field here last time but he returns after a break and has claims if he can rediscover his spark.

Returned from a short break to be placed on turf for the first time at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) latest; inconsistency a concern but if she can back that up she's a player.

Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order.

Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm.
