Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player.

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player.

T: Tony Carroll

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected.

Off the mark at the 22nd attempt when landing a classified event here (1m, good) last month and he ran another good race when runner-up at Ffos Las last time; has 4lb rise to deal with back in a handicap, but he's effective at this trip and has form figures of 2522212 since June; in the mix.

Won when cheekpieces were first fitted and again when they were reapplied early in the year, so it's a plus point that they are back on today; not shown much since leaving Ian Williams but soft ground was no good to him last time and he'll be happier back on the AW.

Generally consistent in his time with Ian Williams when he scored three times on AW from 1m to 1m2f; second start for this yard wasn't devoid of promise at Kempton (1m4f) 17 days ago but suitability for the combination of this trip and likely ground is yet to be determined.
