All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.

Well backed prior to running out the easy winner of a C&D handicap for amateur riders 18 days ago; enjoyed the run of things there but the handicapper could have taken a dimmer view of the win; fair chance up just 3lb.

Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives.

Well held on soft turf a fortnight ago but seems to save his best for AW, including runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and Lingfield (2m) in the spring; penultimate fourth of 13 back at Lingfield was also respectable and he's well treated on peak form.

Ran for Sir Mark Prescott in three bumpers and eight Flat races, all without winning; Uttoxeter third (2m) over hurdles latest can't be that convincing given that she was beaten 25l, but it was the best of her three runs for this yard and this is her handicap hurdle debut over a new trip.

Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb.
