J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Derek Shaw

Well into the veteran stage now but he's an AW specialist who recorded his tenth course win when finishing well to score over C&D last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success after a short break and he remains feasibly treated; shortlisted.

At the veteran stage, but this nine-time course winner is still more than capable at this level as he showed when twice runner-up off this mark over C&D at the start of the year; did win fresh in his younger days, but more recent evidence suggests he may just need this after 73 days off.

J: Lewis Edmunds

Admirable veteran who is a 15-time AW winner; his last success was ten months ago but he's finished runner-up at Wolverhampton in his last two starts and it was an eyecatching effort out wide last time; dangerous back on Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record and was well held at Southwell last month but both her wins have come at this track (6f) including an all-the-way success on her penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and she's well drawn to attack on this drop back in trip; dangerous if she can bounce back again.

Has form figures of 2322221 since switched to handicaps and his win came over C&D (blinkers added; 5-6) last Monday; has a penalty for that narrow success but he finished well to beat a well-handicapped rival and is open to more progress; key player.

Got off the mark with an odds-on win in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, Tapeta) in January but he's not gone on from that in four runs since; was forced wide over C&D last time but he finished behind Porfin in that race and it took his record to 1-14; others are more persuasive.
