C&D win off this mark in March; knocking at the door on most recent AW appearances and latest down-the-field run in the Leger Legends event at Doncaster is easy to excuse as he saw no daylight; another to consider.

Campaigned over 7f in recent times but shapes as if this return to 1m will suit; in form, having made the frame on AW in last three starts; effective on turf; strong contender under Sammy Jo Bell, who has ridden the winner of this race three times.

The switch to heavy ground saw him take a marked step forward when making all in a small-field nursery at Haydock three weeks ago; 6lb higher today and it remains to be seen what the latest form is worth.

7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims.

A staying-on third at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in September is clearly the pick of his four runs; makes handicap with potential for better but this trip looked to stretch him at Redcar three weeks ago.

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.

Scrambled home in a 7f Class 5 fillies' handicap at Carlisle (soft) last month but bombed out 48 hours later at Hamilton (8.5f; first-time visor); eased in grade with that headgear discarded seeking a revival; realistic chance at the weights factoring in allowances.
