He has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran creditably in a 5f seller at Wolverhampton ten days ago (first-time visor, retained); a bit more will be needed back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Didn't handle the bend too well over C&D a fortnight ago, but still managed to finish a creditable third of the ten runners, a neck behind Angle Land with three of these behind; has the inside stall this time, but a record of 2-31 does sound a note of caution.

T: Michael Appleby

5yo with an overall record of 2-34; two good placed efforts off a higher mark over C&D in November but he's lost his way in his last two starts; drops back in trip but he bled from the nose here last time and needs a major revival in new combination of headgear

J: Frederick Larson

T: Michael Appleby

Well held in first-time blinkers (retained) at Southwell recently but he likes this track, is favourably treated now and the return to 6f shouldn't be an issue; is one of the better options.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have come at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack), the latest from this mark in June; better drawn than when enduring a wide trip over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind three of these) and one to consider.

1lb lower than when beating two rivals at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in August and she ran well when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month, but she may prefer an extra furlong on the AW and isn't well drawn.
