Trainer off the mark in the week with another who was formerly under the charge of Stuart Kittow; this three-time AW winner made it 0-10 on turf when some way off the front three on comeback (won first time out last season); needs a deal more.

Winning reappearance on AW in 2025 and there's other evidence that shows he goes well fresh; however, he's 0-9 on turf and is hard to weigh up, having left Stuart Kittow since some so-so runs in the autumn.

Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender.
