C&D winner in February off 8lb lower; beaten less than 2l in a big field at the Curragh on latest (6f, good), staying on well, and eased 1lb for that effort; return to 7f on the AW could enable him to get his head back in front; leading claims.

Form & Verdict
Okay efforts in opening two maidens for Adrian Nicholls before a lesser run at Musselburgh; didn't show much in her first two handicap runs for this yard at 28-1 and 50-1 respectively but was heavily supported into favouritism over C&D last time when headed into second by Beau Army late home; up 2lb but capable of going well.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in opening three runs here; he sprang a surprise in a 6f three-runner contest last time when landing it as the outsider sporting first-time blinkers and tongue-tie (retained); his mark looks fair for handicap debut, while the step up in trip should be no problem; capable claimer reduces burden as well; big player.
