Form & Verdict
Three wins last year, including here (1m2f) off 5lb lower in November; solid effort in a race not run to suit on Tapeta last time (best of those held up) and, while there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark, she holds fair claims on that.

Form & Verdict
Started handicap life for Karl Burke last summer on an unrealistic mark and struggled prior to being picked up for just 2,000gns in the autumn; finding his level now for his current yard and it wouldn't shock were he to pop up here, dropped another 3lb.

Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again.
