Beauzon

J: Charles Bishop

T: Ian Williams

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning.

Not yet off the mark but she's had two close calls on the AW this year, notably when only just failing to get up at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, against one on the fifth leg of a seven-timer; acts on turf, too, and may well figure back from short break.

J: William Pyle

T: Kevin & Lauren Frost

Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right.

Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue.

Just one win from 24 starts but that was off 9lb higher at Brighton (5.3f, good) last spring; losing run is up to 13 but he's run some solid races on AW this year including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; seems tactically versatile and he's an interesting contender back in trip after a short break.

Well handicapped on his best form last year and he ran into some trouble in the closing stages when a creditable fifth at Kempton (6f) last time; hard to rule out another good run but he still has something to prove at this trip and is 0-10 on AW.

Couple of ordinary efforts on the AW since unseating in February but he returns to turf on a career-low mark, 1lb lower than when winning over C&D last spring; the hood returning could help and he ought to fare better.
