T: David Pipe

Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; he's not fired in the same way since and is now 11 but took second back over C&D last May (4lb lower today); absent since November and the lack of any equipment is striking (for a start, he's been tongue tied all starts under rules) but he's worth a second look.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced for his age and posted a career best when storming 11l clear of his rivals at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) last month; similarly testing conditions here ought to suit him well (he's from the family of National winners Royal Athlete and West Tip) and a 9lb higher mark should not prevent another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Like many from his stable he's had a good season and a convincing win at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in December was a personal best; ran another cracker when 5l fourth of 16 in the Imperial Cup at Sandown four weeks ago; 1-1 at Ffos Las; holds no secrets from the handicapper but should be thereabouts.
