J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground.

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321) and ran well back on turf when beaten a length into third of 11 at Bath (1m, good) last month; gets on well with Laura Coughlan; respected.

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321; most under Laura Coughlan) with the wins at Wolverhampton over 9.4f and 7f; creeping up the weights and although he had a 1m2f turf win last September, there is something for him to prove in this discipline.

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (133232); five of those runs have been here, but none was over less than 1m which does pose a question.

Won on AW debut over C&D in October and he's been placed in all four runs since, including a close call here on penultimate run; still on a workable mark and both wins have come under Laura Coughlan; shortlisted.
