Form & Verdict
Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when narrowly beating a subsequent winner last month; only fifth of eight at Kempton on Wednesday but that was at 2m in a Class 5 and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip/grade.

3-9 under Zoe Lewis with all of his wins coming over C&D, the latest when beating The Craftymaster by a neck last month; meets him on the same terms and may be the better suited of the pair to this trip; major player.

Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when just beating a subsequent winner from 3lb lower last month; ran well in one previous visit here and, although yet to attempt this far on the Flat, would be a player if he stays.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW.

Runner-up three times in 11 races, including behind Tenison at Yarmouth three runs back; would have each-way claims if shrugging off below-par run last time.

J: Callum Hutchinson

A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again.

Made it 2-3 in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) in March but she's been disappointing in both subsequent runs; still has low mileage but she needs a major revival at this new trip.
