Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly.

Form & Verdict
Well capable of being involved off this mark and with Warren Fentiman taking off a useful 7lb; however, yet to win away from Doncaster and has largely unconvincing AW record.

J: Jason Hart

He's not consistent but he won over C&D last November and ran really well when second of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; major player if he's once more on song.

Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 131, all at Southwell, since dropped back to 7f; scored comfortably last time and could have even more to offer over this distance; respected even though he's back up in grade.

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month.

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.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Michael Herrington

Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard.

Form & Verdict
Irish filly who raced only on turf for Tom Mullins, winning once from nine attempts; on a workable mark, assuming she takes well to AW on debut for new yard; check the betting for extra guidance.

Form & Verdict
Successful over C&D on debut; has failed to progress since and chance partly depends on how well he responds to addition of tongue-tie on debut for another new stable (his third); off since August.

Off the mark at Kempton (7f) in September and largely consistent since, running creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained) there most recently; went close in both C&D attempts; solid contender.
