2-17 with his latest win a short head success at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in November; has run with credit in his five outings since including when second of seven back at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time, but he stayed that trip well so may not want this to turn into a dawdle.

Has proved consistent since switched to the AW last autumn, regaining winning form at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) last time out; 3lb higher but no problem with the return to this trip; each-way shout.

J: David Egan

T: Roger Varian

Has a modest strike-rate for this yard, his wins coming at 7f on turf in 2021 and over about 1m1f here in November, but he didn't get the ideal passage when a staying-on fifth upped to this trip at Kempton 19 days ago; probably capable of better over 1m4f.

2-3 on Tapeta since returning from 133 days off in December, his latest win a game neck success over C&D a fortnight ago; 5lb higher, but he has a good attitude which will always stand him in good stead; major player.

All ten wins have come on the AW, including two at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in December; however, his last two efforts, including when well beaten into fifth of seven over C&D, suggest the handicapper may now be in charge.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his C&D win last month; followed up at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) three days later and he went very close in his hat-trick bid back at Wolverhampton last week; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and another good run looks on the cards.

Seven-time Tapeta winner who sits 12lb below his last winning mark (dead-heat over 1m2f at Newcastle in February 2022); out of sorts lately, with hopes seemingly pinned on the change of scenery - a first ever visit to Southwell - and a drop back to 1m working the oracle.
