Form & Verdict
Revitalised by the first-time visor (retained) and return to turf when running away with a Wetherby handicap on Sunday (5.5f, good to firm); quick turnround is no issue for one who has obliged after just one day's absence before, and his appeal is clear to see despite the penalty.

Most recent win came over this trip at Chepstow in May on final run for Thomas Faulkner; not disgraced over 6f twice since and looks ready for a return to 7f; gets that here and should be thereabouts.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

Turned things around when scoring back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) for Thomas Faulkner last month; remains feasibly treated on that form and he made a solid start for new yard when fourth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good) ten days ago; in the mix.

9st 6lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: Ross Burdon

Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; well backed) three weeks ago, reportedly appreciating the return to turf; still has plenty of handicapping scope up 3lb and his new trainer (same owner) has won with two of his last three runners; visor returns today having worn cheekpieces last time.

Form & Verdict
Winless away from AW, but last week's second in a Bath 0-80 (5f, good to firm) was one of his better turf efforts and this race is slightly easier; needs to back that up.

Poor return of 1-30 for one of his ability, though he has been competitive of late and may have gone even closer at Catterick last week without taking a few bumps; livelier place claims than some.

Form & Verdict
He's had more success away from turf but has now won on the last two occasions he's encountered it, which was over 5f (soft) in the autumn and 7f at Brighton (good to firm) yesterday; both were under Jack Doughty and the latter was in an apprentice event, so he does not have to carry a penalty and must enter serious calculations.

Sole win in 7f maiden for Charles Hills but she went down only narrowly in a Thirsk handicap at that trip in September and is now 2lb lower; hasn't shot the lights out for new yard as yet but the return to 7f can suit and adding cheekpieces may also help.
