Form & Verdict
Having dropped down the weights he returned to winning ways in a small-field handicap at Newmarket last week; up 5lb but still has plenty of handicapping scope and his two C&D runs have yielded a win and a third; yard won this race last year; big chance.

Dual C&D winner who is back to the mark he was successful from at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; fair fourth over C&D 19 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces on this 107th start and he warrants consideration.

Only 2lb higher than for her C&D win last month (for Oisin Murphy); wouldn't judge her too harshly on latest Windsor run (held up in a race where a tailwind favoured the prominent racers) and she's a contender with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Yet to run a bad race over C&D, boasting a record of 12312 at the track; second in this race 12 months ago but 4lb higher this time round; met some trouble at a crucial stage at Newbury last time and that isn't the run to judge her on; should go well with all ground seeming to come alike to her.

Form & Verdict
He has slipped to a handy mark and he's run creditably in Racing League handicaps on his last two starts; the drop to 5f looks worth exploring and this is an ease in grade (effectively a 0-80); chance if the widest stall doesn't prove a hindrance.
