Hindered by traffic issues on his return to turf from AW but latest effort is harder to forgive; otherwise remains well treated on best form, albeit now goes back up in grade. |

Mixed bag since returning from a 13-month absence in November; met trouble at Lingfield on his penultimate start but did not feature 11 days ago; others look safer. |

Dual 7f course winner; yet to win over this trip but has been placed over C&D; back on a handy mark, as shown when he was just held here (7f) latest; up 1lb; not ruled out. |

Back on a good mark and it was his third run after a long absence when a closing third over this far (best trip) here a month ago; dropped into a Class 6 now and his turn could be near. |

Two wins and four places from 18 starts for David O'Meara; unplaced on AW on last three starts; probably a little more effective on turf, but lacks the advantage of a recent outing. |

Still below his winning C&D mark in March despite 6f Chelmsford success last month; should be all the better for the return to 6f after failing to find much over 7f last month but this looks tough. |
