Six-race maiden with a tendency to race too freely; seemed to have too much use made of him when tried in a visor (now removed) over 1m2f at Lingfield last month but he ran well for a long way and this drop in trip could be a good move.

Well backed with the visor left off when prevailing narrowly over C&D two weeks ago; settled a bit better that day and may have further improvement in him; raised only 2lb.

Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form to open account with clearcut 7f win here last month, her tenth start; it's hard to predict whether she'll build on that success but a 4lb rise does not seem excessive and she should be okay back at 1m.

Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages.

Just one win from 27 starts but that came at Lingfield (7f) in January and he's finished a close third there in last two starts; remains feasibly treated off same mark as last time but he still has something to prove on turf and his best form has been at 7f.
