Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive.

All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces.

All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at.

Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting.

Returned from a break to win a Wolverhampton handicap (7f) in October and she added a second win to her tally when readily seeing off five rivals over C&D last month; only a fair fourth at Lingfield (1m) one week later but she is 2lb lower today and should make another bold bid.

It's possible she's gone off the boil but her last two outings have been over 8.6f/1m and her good form in the autumn came at 7f (on Tapeta; has shown promise on Polytrack); could have a part to play back down in trip.
