Form & Verdict
Both wins have been on turf but he's unexposed on AW and has finished close up over C&D and at Newcastle (5f) in his two runs this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back up in trip.

The forecast rain will be less of a bother to him than many; however, the latest of two narrow turf wins over 6f, at Chester in August, took him to a career-high mark which proved a tough pill to swallow in the Portland at Doncaster last week; looks up against it from 2lb higher this time.

Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here.

Form & Verdict
Won a Racing League handicap off this mark last summer; three solid efforts this year, including a third at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month and a close fourth in big field at Ripon two weeks ago; remains lightly raced on AW and he's a key player back in this sphere.

He's dropped to a favourable mark and there is every chance that he will exploit it at some point, but he was a soundly beaten fourth of eight behind Belsito at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago and has work to do here.

Ran well in face of a stiff task in a Carlisle Listed event last summer; backed that up with a close third in a Thirsk handicap (7f, good) but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; should be fine on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival on this second run after a break.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing.
