Form & Verdict
Was not at the top of her game this autumn/winter and is now 1-21 on AW overall; however, she shot back to form when switched to turf exactly one year ago and that was a win over C&D on soft from the same stall she has now (9lb lower today); that was her last win but turf form as recent as October also reads well; one to note.

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor.

Won a turf maiden in 2019; all wins since have been AW but there was a short-head defeat over 7.4f on soft last May and he had three minor honours on AW this January before a lesser show on latest outing; case can be made.

Back on song with narrow win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; this triple C&D winner now goes back up in trip but he's a mercurial type who needs to bounce back again.

Turned in an excellent effort when winning the corresponding race from stall 1 (14 ran) last May, flying out of the stalls and able to get to the stands' rail after one furlong; also won at Ffos Las in July and both victories were achieved off a higher mark than today's; not at best last time but his reappearance had been encouraging; should make a bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Resurgent over 6f/7f last May/June, including three wins; had soft-ground form before but that hot spell was not on this sort of ground; needs to have come on markedly since his 5f, soft-ground return two weeks ago but there was a major problem with his blindfold as the stalls opened that day.

Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw.

Form & Verdict
Latest two wins were on AW early last year and he's had just one (2022) from 12 races on turf; while peak efforts from his autumn/winter AW campaign read well, the latest of those was on New Year's Eve; he has a bit to prove also on worse than good to soft.

Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing.
