Came good for Peter Niven at second attempt, with clearcut success at Wolverhampton 11 days ago; has 5lb penalty to shoulder here but is due to go up by that much anyway; must be considered.

J: William Pyle

T: Kevin & Lauren Frost

Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Kevin Frost

Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue.

Generally very disappointing last year but arrested his decline when close third in C&D classified race three weeks ago, having broken on terms for the first time in a while; has a fighting chance if able to build on that performance.

Last turf win came at Doncaster (6f, good) off 3lb lower 14 months ago; good winner at Southwell (5f, AW) from 3lb higher in December and he overdid it in front when fourth of eight here (6f, good) on penultimate start; faded over 5.5f last time and now drops back to 5f; the likely pace.

0-10 since winning at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) just over a year ago and finished a well-held third of seven at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; the first two have won since, though, so not dismissed down another 2lb.
