Prolific turf winner who scored at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at Sandown last time; has something to prove again and he's 0-7 on AW; visor removed.

Returned to winning form at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June and his subsequent third of six at Lingfield (5f) was perfectly respectable given he is 0-7 on the AW; handles soft ground well and should play a part if things pan out from the rails draw.

Three AW wins in the second half of last year but she's 0-8 on turf; last two efforts on grass were respectable, however, including when third of nine over C&D (good) 19 days ago; taken out on account of soft ground here on Friday and her prospects would be boosted by drying conditions.

Yet to add to her three 6f AW wins last backend but she's run several good races this year, including when third at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June; returns after a short break but she's respected with Rossa Ryan booked.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground.
