He's reverted to hurdles the last twice and run well in second each time (soft/good to soft), over C&D on the first occasion; takes a steep rise in grade today but this consistent C&D winner has an each-way shout.

Form & Verdict
Looked quite promising for the Meades (second in a Newbury maiden over 1m on soft on 2023 reappearance); has become disappointing and hard to fancy after three poor efforts on last three starts including over this trip on soft at Leicester; blinkers now tried (has worn a visor and cheekpieces).

Very productive on the AW in the last six months, winning five times and making the frame on five other occasions; however, her mark has risen and she had no obvious excuses when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton last time, so others are preferred for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
Took a while to find his form last season, then landed a hat-trick on soft ground in July/August; again slow to come to hand and 8lb lower than last winning mark so could bounce back with the ground in his favour; yet to win over this trip.
