Dual Flat winner with a win apiece on AW and turf for Heather Main; didn't show a lot in his sole hurdles start at Newbury in January last year when none too fluent in the jumping department; off since April last year and now making stable debut.

Her form can be up and down but she made it three wins for the year when upped in trip at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; could have more to offer at this distance and she's respected up 5lb.

Losing run up to 12, but having plummeted down the weights she was beaten less than a length into third of ten in a 0-50 classified event here (1m2f) a week ago; AW wins have come over 7f/1m, but she has been successful over this far on turf and remains unexposed at the trip.

Form & Verdict
His best form has come on AW but he's lightly raced and the drop back to 1m may not have suited at Sandown last time; prior to that he posted two good runs in defeat on AW (1m4f/1m3f) and he's not discounted.

Not at his best on his last four starts but took step back in right direction at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last time on first run since wind surgery, when the steady gallop was a negative; today's extra furlong is a plus and he might not be far away, having continued to drop down the weights.

Second once over 1m2f on good last August but generally speaking he has been much more interesting on AW, including when runner-up once at 2m; no impact in either sphere on last five starts (given wind surgery after third) so there are major doubts to go alongside his career-low mark.

Won two of his first three starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) in the winter of 2021/22; 0-13 since, but placed off higher marks three times here (1m3f/2m) in that period; returns from a second wind operation and place claims at least if rediscovering his best form.

Form & Verdict
He's done his winning at up to 10.2f but there can be hope today's trip will be within range and he's run fairly well this summer on his first two starts for this yard; drops back in grade today and is not ruled out.

Mixed record for new yard this year but he went close off a reduced mark over 1m2f here on penultimate outing; not so good over that same C&D 17 days later but overdid it up front that day and remains well treated on old form; ran creditably in one of his four attempts at 1m4f.

Form & Verdict
Placed on the Flat on first two runs this year (2m, AW) and, after two heavy defeats over hurdles, she bounced back with a close second on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, soft); could again be thereabouts, and slow ground would probably aid this strong stayer's cause.
