He's dropped down the weights and his stable is in good form, but he was well beaten on his final two runs last year and it was the same story on his sole outing this season (in June); has plenty to prove.

Ready winner of a 5f handicap at Newcastle in October off a 3lb lower mark (no headgear); less good in headgear in three runs since but his latest effort at Newcastle can be marked up as he travelled nicely but perhaps on the unfavoured part of the track; each-way shout.

Much better could have been expected at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last time but he went there on the back of two consecutive wins over this C&D and could bounce back with a big performance now back here.

Having gone clear he was headed on the post on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (5f), following a 68-day break; this three-time C&D winner, who is 0-22 on turf, is 3lb lower than for his last win at Southwell (5f) last December and could play a leading role now back on AW.

He's had an underwhelming year (including here) but he showed some spark at Beverley two starts ago and raced alone towards the near side when finishing last at Redcar most recently; the return to AW may well be a plus and he's 3lb lower than when winning over C&D last October; not ruled out.

Disappointing in the main this season and well beaten at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in August last time, when slowly away and reportedly losing her action; however, perhaps the first-time hood will be a positive and she has a good record over sprint trips here; not discounted.
