Made it back to back C&D wins under a good ride from the front last week; carries 5lb penalty for that but still looks well treated and could take all the beating in his attempt at completing a quickfire hat-trick.

Improved for a step up in trip over the winter, reeling off a four-timer over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in January/February; came up short off a BHA mark in the 90s on his next three starts but he was back on track with a game effort over 1m here 17 days ago (front two clear); the combination of a 4lb rise and a drop in trip could find him out today.

Out of the yard's Group 2 winning stayer Alyssa; showed some promise when second at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm; formed worked out well) last June; didn't get a clear run on her return from a break at Lingfield (1m) latest; on a workable mark for her handicap debut, back up in trip; interesting.

Seven AW wins include one over C&D, and his two most recent 7f runs, here in February and at Southwell 11 days ago, were up there with his best efforts over the last year; likely to need extra from a high draw though.

Sole win in 14 starts for David Elsworth came in a Lingfield novice (1m, Polytrack) at the end of 2020; makes her stable/Tapeta debut from a 6lb lower mark after 470 days off; market should be informative.
