Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism on his handicap debut at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last May but he's been beaten around 6l in last three starts including in two runs for this yard in the autumn; still lightly raced but he has something to prove after 158 days off.

6f AW winner but all four turf wins have been at this trip and latest was over C&D (Hover On The Wind second) 17 days ago; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and he seems versatile ground-wise; should be in the thick of things again.

Quirky type who was never involved after another slow start here (5f) last month but that was his first run after a break; should be sharper on this step back up in trip and he's well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his Chepstow win (6f, good) last summer; not ruled out.

Finally off the mark at the 48th attempt when scoring at Bath (5f, firm) last month; finished close up in next two starts but her form cooled at Thirsk ten days ago and she needs to bounce back after that laboured effort; seems equally effective at both sprint trips.

48th time lucky when winning at Bath a fortnight ago; ran another solid race when second back at Bath last week and although she's 2lb higher today, the return to a bare 5f will suit; other pace to deal with but she's clearly thriving and could have more to come on fast turf.
