Form & Verdict
Took his form to a new level (RPR of 71) when comfortably completing the hat-trick at Newcastle (1m, Class 5, 7-2) last week; no issue with this track, and has the excellent Ben Coen booked as he seeks to defy a 5lb penalty; sets the benchmark.

J: Megan Telford-Kelly

T: Maurice Andrew Ahern

All six wins came on the AW when trained in Britain; standout run for this yard came on opening day of season when runner-up in 26-runner Curragh handicap (heavy), most recently didn't seem to get home over this trip at Gowran last month (soft); stamina concerns remain.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish; enjoyed a resurgence since joining Stan Moore, winning twice at Chelmsford (1m-1m2f), and continuing to run well in defeat despite rising ever so steadily in the weights; sits another 1lb higher than when beaten by a short-head last time; chance.

Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival.

Five course wins (7f-8.5f) and she's slipped back to a workable mark; not beaten all that far on her last couple of starts, including when fifth of eight (beaten 2.75l) here over 9.5f; can probably hit the target again at some point, but perhaps not tonight.

J: Luke Morris

Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more.

Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her.

All four AW wins have come over C&D including when ending a 16-race losing run in returning cheekpieces a fortnight ago; 2lb rise not excessive but the outside stall makes things tricky.
