Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely.

Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose performer who won twice on the Flat when trained by Jim Boyle; missed 2021 and after a long absence he's been well held in two runs this autumn but he made some strong late gains over 9.4f here last time; that was promising at a big price and he's not ruled out back up in trip.

Sole win in 19 starts under both codes came in a Ballinrobe claimer (9.6f, good) last June, but she's on a reduced mark and caught the eye with her late headway over 1m2f at Chelmsford (AW) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and has claims if she can build on that; cheekpieces back on.

Recent efforts not inspiring, but she has dropped 6lb lower than when making a successful return in May last year and the booking of Simon Walker suggests connections mean business; blinkers (only used once before over hurdles in September 2021) make a return; interesting.

Scored off 3lb higher at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last May but she's not matched that since and was only tenth of 11 here (9.4f) last month; has some form over C&D but she needs a major revival back up in trip.

All three wins have come at Bath (1m-11.6f) and he's 0-14 on AW but he ran into trouble at a crucial stage when a creditable fourth behind an odds-on rival over C&D last Monday; 1lb lower here and he could be big factor if he gets the breaks this time.
