Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; was unable to build on that on his next two starts, before producing a career best to win decisively over C&D latest; on that evidence, he could still be well treated under his penalty.

Nothing wrong with his C&D second a month ago and was unlucky back on turf last time (same Bath handicap he won last season), when hitting plenty of traffic; will rightly be popular.

Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden, placed over 6f on turf; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when racing prominently and finishing just over 3l fourth at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) latest; drops 2lb; consistency hasn't been a strong point but if he could produce a similar effort he'd be thereabouts.

Took him a while to get off the mark, but he eventually scored over 7f at Chelmsford (AW) and Brighton (good) in May; still 5lb higher than for the latest of those, but good to soft ground may not have suited at Ffos Las (1m) last time and possibilities if he can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his qualifying starts (all 5f) and hadn't looked badly treated going into his handicap debut at Catterick (5f; first-time tongue-tie) latest; possible that heavy ground was an issue there, when last of eight; drops 3lb and returns to AW up in trip, with improvement possible.

Both wins have come over 5f at Chelmsford, the latest in a classified event in February; well beaten on his last four starts, however, and hopes appear to rest on the addition of a tongue-tie perking him up; betting useful.

Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina.
