All wins on AW, the last three in the old Fibresand days at Southwell more than two years ago; had one long break since and two wind operations; second to Tio Mio here on penultimate outing and a rare turf run probably excuses latest; each-way contender.

His three wins here were in the old Fibresand days and he's not scored anywhere since September 2023; plenty of competitive shows at this track, the latest three starts ago, and his usual tongue-tie (absent last time) returns but others appeal more for win purposes.

Creditable third at Southwell (1m3f) last month but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 8l at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time; needs to bounce back and will need a good pace back at this trip; tongue-tie removed.

Two solid placed efforts since returning from a break, latest when a 7.25l third at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm; Magic Seven second) last month; should give another good account though he remains vulnerable off this sort of mark.

Form & Verdict
Sole win (17 races) was in January 2020; missed most of 2022 and left Harry Dunlop before well beaten in his three races this January/March; has plummeted in the weights but a lot seems to depend on last month's wind surgery and today's first-time tongue-tie.

Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty.

Record of 2-42 and her last win was in March 2023; didn't fire as favourite when back on the Flat here (1m3f) last month but that race wasn't run to suit and she looks interesting on some placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f) in the spring; not ruled out off dangerous mark.
