4yo who has finished placed in two of his four handicaps but slow starts have been an issue and he was always in rear at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last month; that took his record to 0-7 and others are more convincing.

J: Alfie Redman

T: Patrick Chamings

Overcame his usual slow start when winning a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton for this apprentice Alfie Redman 17 days ago; has the ability to deal with a 2lb rise and he should get a good pace to aim at but conceding so much ground at the start will mean he always carries risk.

Runner-up at Yarmouth before her respectable fourth at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last Friday; was just behind Zu Run last time but she's now 0-11 on AW and her three turf wins have been over 6f; others are more persuasive.

Won two in a row at Newcastle (6f/7f) last spring; 0-13 since but she's dropped down the weights and was a close second at Southwell (6f) last Sunday, on her first run after wind surgery; ties in closely with Swiss Ace on that form and she's respected back in trip.

Most of his runs have been on AW and all three wins have been gained here (8.6f); last success was in September 2023 but that was off 8lb higher and he ran well to finish fourth of 21 at Doncaster (1m, good) last month; now drops back in trip in new headgear and he has possibilities if he gets a good pace to aim at.
