Form & Verdict
Not proven here or over this far but he's a dual winner on Wolverhampton Tapeta, latterly last November off 13lb higher; lost his form this summer and left Michael Attwater for 4,800gns in August, but there was a mini-revival when fourth at Wolverhampton (4-1) on stable debut last Thursday and he may well be able to build on that.

A fair 1m4f scorer for James Owen last March but below par for his current stable, a never-dangerous fourth of seven on his return in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 34 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.

Four-time AW winner; ran okay when fifth of 12 over this C&D in June but he failed to beat a rival home at Hamilton (1m5f, good; beaten 24l) 75 days ago; switches back to AW and drops in trip having been off since.

Form & Verdict
Two AW wins for Mitchell Hunt, the latest over C&D in March; 169 days off before her second at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 33-1) on debut for new yard 26 days ago, so she's another who could have a major say.
