Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off.

Ex-Irish 4yo who has form figures of 314 since joining new yard and racing in AW handicaps; dead-heated at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on Boxing Day and ties in with Brinton on his creditable effort at Chelmsford (1m) since; may still have more to offer in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism, by half a length, in C&D contest last week for a first win since 2024; incurs 5lb penalty but Donagh Murphy claims that amount; remains well treated on historical data anyway; respected, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.

Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight.
