In good form last month (won on the Newcastle Tapeta) and kicked off 2024 with a win at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack); did it nicely last time and a 6lb rise may not stop this progressive 4yo.

Form & Verdict
Five-time 6f AW winner, including here; went close at Lingfield (6f) last month and a case can be made on that form, and she weakened when back up to 7f last time; however, she's been inconsistent in recent months.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 16 times since his last win in May 2023 and has rarely threatened in that time; however, he kept on well for a close fourth at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) recently and this C&D winner is not ruled out now back up to 6f.

It remains to be seen what he is capable of on turf after just two novice events and a heavy-ground 1m handicap, all in 2023 (well held in each); trail has gone cold since an okay winter on Tapeta, however.
