Handicapper quick to ease off this spring and he turned in his best effort for this yard when fourth behind Sisterandbrother at Doncaster last weekend; inclined to over-race back in cheekpieces there and has to prove he can do it on the AW.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Sara Ender

Was having just his third go on AW when taking a Southwell handicap (1m3f, Tapeta) last month and he backed it up with slightly unlucky second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; 1lb nudge looks no bother at all and he's near the top of the list.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when battling well to score at 20-1 at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces reapplied) two weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and his first win was on turf; shortlisted.

Ex-Irish gelding who hasn't won since 2023 and never been this far (tried over 6f-1m2f by his current trainer); one of his better efforts from 6lb out of the weights at Windsor ten days ago, but is 6lb wrong again under Ruby Criscuolo (0-2 this far).

Both wins came under a 7lb claimer in Ireland and it wasn't a bad effort under Ruby Criscuolo when beaten a shade over 2l at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; moderate fourth at Pontefract on Monday, however, which took his record to 0-15 for this yard.

Strike-rate of 2-46, with the wins in Ireland during the autumn of 2023; not beaten far in his last two completed starts in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps; back at 1m here, he looks very vulnerable to this week's two winners.

Cheekpieces had a positive effect early in the year and he switches to a first-time hood tonight off the back of a below-par effort at Leicester; should be happier back on the AW under Freddie Robson, who's currently a combined 2-7 under both codes.

Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win at Chelmsford under Freddie Robson; has lost his way since (cheekpieces off here) but is back on the mark he defied at Chelmsford so a revival wouldn't surprise in this uncompetitive race.
