Form & Verdict
Both wins were for his former yard and latest was at Beverley (8.4f) last summer; showed signs of a revival when close fifth at Kempton last month but he was well below that form at Beverley two weeks ago; blinkers now return but losing run is up to 11 and others are preferred.

Front-runner who has won three times on the AW, the latest over C&D in July; scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last month, but needs to put a lacklustre effort at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month behind him, while an easy lead seems unlikely.

Form & Verdict
Made it 2-7 when landing a Sandown handicap (7f, good) last August but he ended last season on a low note and was quiet on his Nottingham (8.3f) reappearance last month; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to rediscover his spark.

Ended a long losing run with back-to-back wins from the front over 7f at Catterick last October; found out in a higher grade at Musselburgh on final start; fifth is the best he's managed in four AW starts (all here) and it's likely best to look elsewhere on reappearance.
