9st 7lb |
Hard to win with these days and, unsurprisingly given his age, has become inconsistent; finished well held in a similar race behind Optician over C&D when last seen in December and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

Allowed his own way in front when beaten a neck by Pleasant Man at Southwell in January (2lb better off tonight); hung right when well below that level last time and is ultimately weighted to his best. |

All five wins have come over 1m4f/1m6f on the Wolverhampton Tapeta; finished fourth of 16 in the apprentice handicap on this card last year so does handle Polytrack, but has something to prove on his first attempt over this far. |

Things didn't fall his way behind two of these at Southwell in January and he's always been best round here (five-time course winner); is straightforward and reliable, and should go well again. |

Has proved consistent on the AW since last September, including when winning at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; has run well off this mark in both outings since and looks one for the shortlist. |

Got up to beat Robusto in a busy finish off 2lb lower at Southwell in January before out of his depth in Group 3 company on his first start for Martin Dunne three weeks ago; there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

From off the pace he kept boxing on for a close fourth over 1m4f at Kempton last time and he's not had much luck when sent over this far previously; will need some luck if held up from stall 3 but could be interesting if getting the breaks. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has often blown the start and he refused to jump away at all without the usual blinkers (back on here) last month; is capable off this mark but a lot will hinge on his mood and how he handles the stalls. |

Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages. |
