A win (September, his only win) and two seconds from five appearances at Newcastle; those returns were over 1m2f and he's tried 1m4f only once (fair third at Beverley in July) but he's on the shortlist.

T: Olly Williams

Four-time AW winner including in this race in 2023; went close over 1m2f here in April but he's lost his way since and has been beaten 15l or more in three runs for current yard; cheekpieces are now reapplied and he needs a major revival.

Three wins here; last January's was his only win in the last five years but a close third at Southwell (1m4f) 13 days ago puts him in the argument.

All his four wins have been over hurdles; C&D third in October, making most, is far and away his best result from eight runs on AW Flat; tried 1m next time and could be a lot more interesting again today.
