All five wins on AW, with the latest three coming under Ellie Mayo (5f-1m); led for a long way but faded into third at Redcar (1m, good) 63 days ago; has the tongue-tie added and probably needs a strong pace to aim at over this trip (won his only previous start over 5f).

All five wins on AW, with the latest three coming under Ellie Mayo (5f-1m); well beaten over 6f in latest two starts but soft ground may not have suited at Carlisle 25 days ago; has something to prove in first 1m run for over a year; visor returns.

Form & Verdict
Ran out the easy winner of a 1m2f amateurs' handicap here last month, his second run for Stan Moore; not beaten by the 1m4f trip at Wolverhampton last time when he didn't travel with quite the same fluency; still on a fair mark if bouncing back to the winning form.

Won a Wolverhampton handicap last April for Olivia Tubb; finished behind Headshot over C&D in November but that was her first run back from a three-month break; better effort when a close third at Wolverhampton four days later; more appealing than many.

0-9; ran well (40-1 fourth) over C&D three outings ago but the rest of her form is unconvincing; not a solid option and much depends on how well she responds to new headgear.

Infrequent winner but he has run two fair races since blinkers went on this winter, latterly when third over C&D nine weeks ago; more will be required to win but he should give it a good go from the front.

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.
