Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight.

In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted.

Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw.

Won a 1m maiden claimer (soft) at Bellewstown in October, his only win from 17 starts in Ireland; stayed on for a close third in a 5f handicap at Dundalk ten weeks ago; starts out for Tony Carroll in a useful event for the grade but he is well worth a market check.

Ex-Irish gelding who's got into the habit of fluffing the start for this yard, which also saddles Rye; can pull hard too and comes with risks, returned to turf and going without the hood tonight.

Shaped well when third at Lingfield (6f, AW) on his stable debut in February; hasn't fared so well since, with slow starts a recurring theme, and he will need luck in running if he blows the start from stall 1; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today.

0-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces.

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.
