Comfortably made all at Thirsk (5f, good) and gave it another good go at Doncaster (good to firm) having gone up 7lb; raised another 1lb for that but she's in form and well drawn to attack.

He's having a mixed season and hasn't looked ready to pounce since a good Ripon run (5f) in July; needs a turnaround but he wasn't far away on his latest C&D start in March and is on a much lower mark now.

Form & Verdict
5lb lower than when last successful (September) and softening ground would be preferable; not beaten far in his first run after wind surgery and was drawn out of contention back at Chester ten days ago; stall 1 isn't ideal for one who likes to force the pace but he's respected.
