Ran away with a C&D handicap in November and held his form since after a hefty rise up the weights; wide stall won't help his cause but he is becoming more realistically treated again now.

Three AW wins in the second half of last year but she's 0-8 on turf; last two efforts on grass were respectable, however, including when third of nine over C&D (good) 19 days ago; taken out on account of soft ground here on Friday and her prospects would be boosted by drying conditions.

Course winner (6f); most recent wins have come around the bend at Wolverhampton; prominent in the betting but left the impression the run would bring him on when seventh of 12 at Southwell last week (after three months off); due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but still looks on a good mark.

Three C&D wins in 2025 and there have been some creditable runs in defeat this year; often a hostage to fortune though and he will need the gaps to open up from stall 1.

Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark.

Just one win from 18 starts; doesn't help himself by overracing and fluffed the start back at 5f last time before keeping on well for second; has the ability to defy this mark if he doesn't give it away at the start.

Ready win at Lingfield (1m) last month and that has been followed by two more solid efforts over that C&D; drops to 5f for the first time on his 44th racecourse start and it isn't sure to suit.
