Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade.

Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge.

Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today.

Last two wins have come over hurdles and is without a success on the Flat in almost three years; has gone well over 1m here, but all three efforts over C&D since October have been blowouts.

Won over hurdles at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) last summer and finished runner-up on the Flat at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) in October; fair mark, but still enough to prove on basis of two modest C&D efforts either side; focus elsewhere.
