Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: James Owen

Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer.

Form & Verdict
Ran out of room at a critical moment at Beverley latest (7.5f, good to firm) and can have that near-2l fifth marked up; still not lots in hand of his mark despite a 1lb drop, but may be thereabouts with better luck.

Runner-up in nurseries at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last autumn, but well beaten on her Redcar reappearance (1m, good) last month; may have needed the run and return to the AW may help, but she needs to take a step forward with a visor now given a go.

Win and (on seasonal return last month) third in 7f Newcastle handicaps are his best form efforts; fewer opportunities so far in turf handicaps, and the 1m trip didn't appear the issue at Carlisle latest.

1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip.

Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return.
