W: 9st 12lb

3 yo Gelding

OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Progressing in handicaps, finishing second over C&D and at Brighton on first two attempts before an easy front-running success at Chepstow last week; effectively 7lb higher under his penalty and he has a wide stall to contend with but this is a lower grade and he has to be high on the list.

Standing dish here having recorded seven of his eight wins at the track, three over this trip; best of three efforts for this trainer was the first of them here (5.5f, good) last month; it's hard to rule him out here but he needs to be much better than his last two starts.

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted.

Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track.

Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form.
