4-15 for David Simcock; four runs for current yard, absent 582 days before this season's, in which he showed that significant ability remains; needs to build on those performances but going back up from the 1m5f of last two outings should suit and he continues down the weights; case can be made.

Gelded after three runs and made a winning return from two months off on his handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f AW); did hang for pressure but ultimately stayed on the best; up only 2lb and may have more to give.

Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back.

Well beaten at Catterick last month but perhaps that run came too soon, just six days after he completed a double in good style at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); third in this last year and he could be involved.

Form & Verdict
Well suited by the move up to 1m6f when a tenacious winner on his handicap debut at Sandown (good to firm); failed to fire off a 5lb higher mark at Haydock but soft ground may have been a factor and that race was competitive; AW debutant but needs respect.

0-11 for Sir Mark Prescott, but made an immediate impact her debut for this yard when winning with plenty in hand at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month; has run well to finish fourth in both outings since including when beaten just over a length here (1m3f) nine days ago, but may find this trip too sharp for her now.

Left Sir Mark Prescott for 60,000gns and as an 11-race maiden; straight on the scoresheet for this yard with a comfortable win at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and the race didn't go her way back there last time; stays further than this so don't doubt her stamina.

11-race maiden (four seconds) in her 11 starts for Sir Mark Prescott; 60,000gns sale and dropped in trip when obliging comfortably in five-runner race over C&D last Monday on first attempt for new connections, so she's firmly in the mix under 6lb penalty.

Made a successful handicap debut in nine-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good), winning stylishly enough to earn an 8lb rise; doubt he gave his running when third of four at Newbury; new trip.
