Won over C&D in October before a good second at Southwell the following month; no impact after a slow start here on Boxing Day but that was against a pace bias and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous if he can bounce back.

He was recording his fourth AW win of the year when the narrow winner of a C&D handicap last month; the front two drew clear and the Topspeed figure was solid so a 4lb rise looks justified; one to consider.

Didn't have to match her earlier efforts to get off the mark in a 6f novice at Newcastle 11 days ago; unimpressive on that occasion but she won't mind the additional furlong and could still have a bigger effort in her now switched to handicaps.

0-8 for Richard Hannon and he hasn't matched his best form in two runs for his new yard, albeit last week's fourth over the extended 1m here was more encouraging (sent off favourite but raced too freely); dropped another 2lb and he's one to consider.

Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right.

Form & Verdict
Confirmed the promise of his two 2yo runs when justifying odds-on favouritism at Southwell (6f) on his seasonal return; good second at Hamilton in May (6f, good to soft) on his handicap debut but two runs since have been disappointing; still has time to fulfil that early promise and 7f should be fine on pedigree; cheekpieces now added.
