Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit.

Definite claims on her course fourth in November and her neck second at Newcastle the following month; those efforts came over 6f but she stays 7f; hard to fancy on what's been seen of late but she does at least drop into a 0-65 for the first time.
