Form & Verdict
Consistent in defeat all winter and the combination of a first-time visor and uncontested lead was enough to get him back to winning ways over C&D five weeks ago; a 4lb rise demands more.

A two-time 1m4f scorer at Wolverhampton in the spring; rare poor effort when last of eight in 1m4f Newmarket handicap last time; the sort to bounce back.

Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem.

Novice win as a 3yo came after four months off, which is a positive as she returns from a six-month absence; looked to find this sort of mark just beyond her after two victories last spring (Tapeta, Polytrack) but this is less competitive.

Raised his game for two 1m4f wins this winter and ran respectably in another AW race three weeks ago after 81 days off; a close call on turf on handicap debut (1m6f, good) last November gives plenty of encouragement that he will prove as effective moving away from AW this afternoon; in the mix.

Similar form in two middle-distance novice events (wearing blinkers that now return; 1m4f/1m3f) before a lesser effort on the AW when tried in cheekpieces; could easily make an impact in his first handicap.

Lost his way over hurdles, running poorly in two runs back from a break last November; the usual cheekpieces are replaced by a first-time hood and it's hard to believe he's still up to this sort of mark on the Flat.

Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out.
