Looked as though he might be on the way back when third of eight on return from 320 days off at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but has gone quiet again twice since; now 0-13 and hard to warm to despite dropping into a Class 6 for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Respectable form in 1m2f handicaps (on good/good to firm) last month, winning at Leicester and Ripon then placed at Beverley; solid contender, being likely to give her running.

Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped.

Rattled off a three-timer last August (two of which were over C&D); yet to get going this year, down the field at Doncaster and Nottingham; now 2lb lower than her last winning mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage.

Both wins have come over 1m2f, the latest here in October last year; has run with credit to finish fourth in his last two starts on turf (1m), but he needs to produce more if he is to resume winning ways.

Form & Verdict
Understandably weakened in the Musselburgh race won by Kingsley Pride, having done too much up front in the early stages; best form gives him a fighting chance on these terms.

24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive.

Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced).
