Form & Verdict
Three-time 1m/1m2f winner (on good-heavy) for Adam West but stays this trip too; progressive last year and signed off for that yard with a solid third at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in November; can go well fresh and won't mind what the weather does so looks interesting on this stable debut.

Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to win under Mason Paetel at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March and went close at Lingfield (AW) the following month; flopped on his next start but took a step in the right direction when fifth of 13 at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last week; plausible contenders are thin on the ground and he's a player.

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft.

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable.

Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat.
