Well held the last twice over 6f and now 0-14; returning to further is probably no bad thing and new trainer fits cheekpieces.

Just 1-22 but on the plus side that win came over C&D (good; 40-1) last August, when wearing first-time cheekpieces; three AW runs since the turn of the year temper confidence.

Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17.

Poor 1-22 strike-rate on turf and not at the top of her game on Southwell AW on her last two starts, but she's never really shone there; she's 5lb lower than for her close fourth over C&D (good) last October and is an interesting contender now away from Southwell.

Has done all his winning on Tapeta at Wolverhampton and over shorter distances; hasn't offered all that much following wind surgery and this is a belated first try beyond 6f; the hood is also new.

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number.
