Form & Verdict
Has record of 1-16 but his win came off 6lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last autumn and he made a bold bid when a close second at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; this is a quick turnaround but he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner who is 0-16 on turf but he went very close behind a well-backed favourite at Beverley (1m2f, soft) 18 days ago; can carry his head awkwardly but he seems versatile ground-wise and is an interesting contender off only 1lb higher than last time.

Returned to form with a fair fourth off a reduced mark at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last month but was behind Dark Company in that race and that took his turf record to 1-23; others are more persuasive.

10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run.
