Off the mark at third attempt in 1m AW maidens; still has something to prove in handicaps but looked a non-stayer over 1m2f in both turf runs; may fare better at this trip, off a reduced mark.

Has form on soft but all turf wins on good/firmer, the most recent at Bath on penultimate outing; now only 2lb higher and the return to Class 6 is a positive (all successes at this level).

Last season's two victories came over 1m but he's still effective over this trip (previous C&D winner); offered little back from a few months off recently, though, and others have more pressing claims.

Conditions to suit (four course wins) and he is 5lb lower than for his last success (1m, good to firm; nine months ago); retained ability on AW over the winter; interesting with David Probert taking over (apprentice-ridden on last 14 starts).

Has won on soft but most wins on good/firmer, the most recent at Lingfield on penultimate start; perhaps unsuited by Salisbury latest and this venue is more favourable; scored twice here in 2022.

6 yo Filly

OR: 53

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in this contest two years ago; had been knocking at the door on AW prior to her 2l success over C&D (good to firm) last week, belatedly opening her turf account; consistent this year and warrants respect under 5lb penalty.

Some fair efforts at a variety of trips this year but he didn't fire at Brighton (1m) last week; cheekpieces now return but he's 4lb out of the weights on this return to AW and his last win was in 2023; opposable.
