Form & Verdict
Benefited from a drop in trip/grade when running away with a 0-50 classified event over C&D nine days ago; 4lb well in under her penalty, but will do well to dominate this field in quite the same way and is drawn much wider this time.

Two AW wins for John Butler last autumn, the latest over C&D from 5lb higher; bit of a mixed bag recently and he reportedly bled when tailed off at Newcastle last time; capable of making an impact off this mark on best form.

Handy sort who showed promise in a couple of 7f AW novices in the spring, including when runner-up here, but has not really built on it in handicaps and the return to this trip has made little difference lately; hope pinned on the first-time visor sparking a revival.

Has proved a bargain buy at only 1,000gns, with his latest Wolverhampton defeat of Aberama Gold his fourth win in only eight starts for Ruth Carr; David O'Meara's reopposing 7yo got first run on that occasion so he deserves credit for picking him off late on; should go well again.

All four wins on the AW, two C&D; second of four off his lower turf mark at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and well treated on his best AW form, but losing run is mounting up and he's drawn wider than ideal.

Well held at Newmarket last time but his turf form lags well behind his AW form; record over C&D reads 311, scoring by 7l early last year and by just over 3l in May (eased down late); both of those wins came from the front, but he has won when held up and is much respected off 4lb higher than for his latest success.
