Back to best when resuming winning ways in a C&D handicap at the beginning of the month, making virtually all to beat the reopposing Love De Vega, who has franked the form by winning since; a 4lb rise looks manageable.

Won at Kempton (7f, AW) in February and has a lower turf mark; however, well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Ascot, and this 9yo is now 0-23 on grass; others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Won on C&D debut in autumn 2023; below that level in two turf outings for Eve Johnson Houghton last summer but back on track returned to AW by new yard (same owners) when third of 12 in 7f Newcastle handicap 11 weeks ago; lightly raced profile suggests there could be a bigger performance in him.

Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
21 months since the last of his nine wins but he's slipped down the weights and he shaped well when runner-up over C&D in December; does need to shrug off a poor run at Wolverhampton since, though.

Form & Verdict
Has recorded creditable in-frame efforts on AW in recent starts, including fourth of 11 over 7f at Lingfield last Saturday; no reason why he won't give his running but the fact he's been successful on only one of his last 33 starts means it may be best to look elsewhere for win purposes again.
