Form & Verdict
Four Lingfield AW wins (three at 7f) since joining Jim Boyle in the autumn, including under today's rider Billy Loughnane; too keen when last of seven over 8.6f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago but ought to be happier back at Lingfield and over shorter.

Won five times at Lingfield (7f-1m) during the last AW season and was still in good form there when last seen in April; has 0-12 strike-rate on turf, though, and others in this line-up look better handicapped.

Has nothing to prove under the conditions having won five times over 7f-1m here during the winter, but they were all at Class 6 level and she may again find this sort of company a shade warm.

Two classified wins last month (including C&D) and made it three in a row back in handicap company at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; this is a slightly stronger affair but he can't be ruled out in his current mood.

Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally.
