Point winner whose sole success under rules came at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in 2021 when 7lb lower; acts here and on soft; form has tailed off of late but would have claims from this mark if reproducing his Wetherby effort from January.

12yo who is winless since March 2022 and is 5lb out of the handicap today; however, he's a three-time C&D winner who was a fair third of six over C&D (soft) last time, and holds each-way claims in a race lacking depth.
