Dual course winner; led on the line when upped to 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) and he backed that up with a good third over C&D 11 days ago; remains well handicapped on his best form and is a big player if this sets up for his closing style.

Overall record of 3-31, but his first two wins were at Wolverhampton and latest was at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 11 days ago; that was in a tight three-way finish but he's only 1lb higher here and is unexposed at this trip; dangerous.

Back from a break with two narrow wins here (9.4f) in the autumn but her spark has been missing in last four runs; now only 1lb higher than for her last win, but slow starts have been an issue recently and she still has something to prove at this trip; first-time eyeshields.
