Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 12th attempt when finishing well to cash in on a reduced mark over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he knuckled down well when it came to the crunch and a 3lb rise looks fair enough; respected.

Just fair efforts on turf lately, but is 7lb lower than when winning over C&D in April last year and returns to the AW for the first time since beaten a head off 4lb higher back here in May; interesting.

Better with each run since handicapping and she followed her C&D win (good to firm) last month with a second behind an improver at Carlisle (1m) last Monday; still has potential after only seven starts and she's respected back at this track.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 11 starts on turf but she's shaped with promise in two runs over C&D this season and didn't get the best of runs when a close fifth last time; dropped another 1lb and has possibilities if this sets up for the closers.

Form & Verdict
Hold-up performer who had a win and close third over C&D (both on good to firm) last month; didn't fire at Catterick (7f classified) last time but that was behind an emphatic front-running winner and he should get a better tow into this race; could bounce back and he's not ruled out.
