Three 6f wins this season but ought to have coped better with the soft ground when midfield on last two outings and this drop back to 5f is probably not ideal; others preferred.

Seems to act on most ground; nine-time winner who is on a hat-trick after a brace of wins at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; it was in his nursery days that he last scored off a mark this high, but he can't be ignored in current mood.

Form & Verdict
His last two wins have come over C&D, the latest in this race 12 months ago when rated 4lb higher; those wins were on soft but he's fully effective on faster ground, as when close up behind The Cola Kid here 11 days ago (first run for 203 days); talented apprentice booked; high on the list.

His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip.

She had overcome slow starts to win both her races this year, at Southwell (6f) on the first occasion and Nottingham (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; well on top at the finish last time and a 3lb rise looks fair; solid claims in her hat-trick bid.
