String of consistent efforts before winning off 3lb lower in a less-competitive Nottingham handicap last month; found it beyond him under a penalty a few days later and, while he's fine round here, he's weighted to his best again.

Form & Verdict
Last season's two standout efforts came over 5f at Thirsk, including a handicap win off 4lb lower; effective on AW and the booking of Billy Loughnane suggests he'll be forward enough on his return from 167 days off.

He has finished runner-up twice this season, including at Redcar (5f, good) off 4lb higher, but he failed to justify support when seventh at Beverley three weeks ago; career-low mark but his modest strike-rate (2-27) tempers confidence and there's a soft-ground query too.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.
