Form & Verdict
3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success.

Form & Verdict
Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival.

Well held at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time, but finished first and second over 1m here in his two starts prior to that; the win came on soft ground, but he is now 5lb higher so will need to find a bit extra.

First and second in his last two starts on varying ground at Chepstow (1m) under regular rider Zoe Lewis, but there has to be a doubt over the suitability of a fast 7f like this back on the AW.

First six wins came on the AW, but he gained his first success on turf in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (soft) under Zoe Lewis (who knows him well) last month; drops to this level for the first time, but fast ground is a big question mark.

Form & Verdict
Signs of ability in novice/maiden company but failed to make immediate progress for the switch to handicapping, admittedly with an excuse - suffered interference on the home bend - over C&D last October; easing mark, but best watched off a 168-day absence.

Lightly raced maiden who reared as the stalls opened on turf last time and did well to get as close; that came off the back of a solid stable debut over C&D and he's shortlisted under Billy Loughnane (1-9 for the yard).

Six race maiden; well held in two handicaps for his previous stable but he posted a solid effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on his first start for this yard 23 days ago; may come on from that first start for 168 days.

J: Hope Regan

T: Mark Loughnane

Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap.

Came from off the pace (in refitted blinkers) to run down Von Krolock in a 7f apprentices' handicap at Southwell (10-1) on penultimate start; only eighth (King Of Speed fourth) over C&D subsequently; 4lb higher now, with a different claiming rider booked.

Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted.

Kept on well to score over 7f here (10-1; from 5lb higher) in December; form has dipped since February, slowly away, failing to beat a single rival at Newcastle (1m) just over a fortnight ago; needs to rediscover a spark.

Came from the rear to gain his fourth success (all on the AW) when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) two months ago; a 5lb rise still leaves him well treated on his previous form so can't be discounted in his bid to follow up.
