J: William Pyle

Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away.

Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Made it 3-4 on AW when scoring at Lingfield in October but she was vulnerable at Chelmsford (fourth of nine) in final run last year; still has scope for further progress in this sphere but all of her wins have been in Class 5 events and she needs to find more after 144 days off.
