Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company.

Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Improved for the addition of a visor and switch to handicaps, stepping up on her Wolverhampton second when headed in the final strides by Midnightattheoasis at Lingfield six days ago; weighted to reverse the placings today and she's not fully exposed.

Gained her breakthrough success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April and she's held her form with three creditable efforts since; chased home Pop Dancer over C&D 13 days ago and she could pose a serious threat on these revised terms.

Impressive over 6f here in December and he's run some good races in defeat since; dangerous mark but likely he'll need them to go too fast early now dropping back to 5f.

His five AW wins include one over this C&D; below his best at Bath (5.5f, good to soft) last time on his first start for 74 days but he was running well prior to that and returns to the AW off a handy mark; cheekpieces, worn last time, are discarded.

J: Luke Morris

T: Chris Gordon

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Good record on AW, including a placed effort over C&D, and she's on the same mark as when headed in the final stride at Wolverhampton last month; backward step back at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and there is other pace to worry about today.

Form & Verdict
Recorded the 16th win of his career (15 on AW) when gamely landing a C&D handicap five weeks ago; 3lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's one to take seriously.
