Solid comeback at Redcar a month ago but didn't look to see it out on his first run at beyond 7f last time; stamina would have to be the concern under a big weight.

Winless in almost two years but well handicapped now and he showed much more in a second-time visor (off here) over 7f at Doncaster last time; typically pulled hard in front that day, also for Rhys Elliott, but tonight's longer trip will be fine if more amenable.

Modest form in her six starts but her latest Wolverhampton run (8.6f) was quite eyecatching, poorly positioned turning in but keeping on quite steadily (ran the fastest final 3f in the race); that effort offered hope of better and she's not discounted in another modest event; unexposed on Tapeta.
