Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark; came into that race in good form, however, whereas this time around he was a remote last of seven at Beverley; revival not impossible but others are more solid; stable also run Lion's House.

Progressed well last year after starting off in classified events and it was a rare blip at Southwell two months ago; could be better for a break and showed on his penultimate run that he can deal with this near career-high mark.

Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field.

Form & Verdict
Below best at Southwell last time but had previously beaten Rodborough over C&D and went close to defying a 5lb rise on his return visit; gets in here off the same mark as that day; had 54 days off but likely contender if on his game.

Pockley

J: David Allan

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.

Five of his six wins have come on the AW, one of them here; held up off a strong pace when close up here 16 days ago but he can race prominently; closely matched with Moon Flight and Dark Kestrel on that form; fighting chance.
