2-2 for Ruth Carr, winning a pair of 6f handicaps at Newcastle; 4lb higher mark to defy in his hat-trick bid and this looks a deeper race than last time; not discounted in current form though.

Boasts a solid record over C&D, latterly when fourth to New Image from a similar draw last weekend; yard been among the winners and he's at least entitled to close the gap on 6lb better terms.

Boasts a good record over C&D; has never run on the AW off a mark this high (ran exclusively on turf since last spring) but unlucky not to have picked up a handicap this season and this is a touch easier back on Tapeta.

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives.

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.
