Form & Verdict
Was attempting this trip for the first time when beaten a length into third of nine over C&D last month and made no mistake back here (7f) 13 days ago; 3lb rise still leaves her well handicapped on old form and she remains unexposed over this far; major player.

Has done well since switched to the AW (form 1323) and he did much the best of those who tried to come from off the pace when beaten half a length into third of nine at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) a week ago; races off the same mark and high on the list provided the sharper test doesn't find him out.

Placed in 3-12 starts, including over this trip, when with Jane Chapple-Hyam; changed stables since latest start in October; trainer among the winners and it wouldn't be a huge shock if he manages to coax a first one out of this gelding, who drops back again in trip; check for any market confidence.

Made it 15th-time lucky on the AW when successful at Newcastle (1m) in December and ran well when fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) next time, but a modest effort at Chelmsford (1m2f) 12 days ago; return to this trip should suit, but most of his best AW form has come on Tapeta.

Form & Verdict
Tough sort who was placed in four consecutive starts off similar marks on the AW late last year prior to a lesser performance in an amateur riders' event at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta); could bounce back, but evidence suggests that a sharp 1m like this may be an insufficient test for him.
