9st 3lb

J: Travis Ford

T: Hayley Burton

Three AW wins at 1m and 7f in midwinter and he wasn't too far off his best at Wolverhampton recently but his two turf runs, most recently at Yarmouth in May, leave him with some questions hanging.

Won three times on the Lingfield Polytrack (7f/1m) during the winter and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but not at his best lately; others more solid.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Hayley Burton

Three wins at Lingfield (7f-1m) over the winter; his form has cooled more recently and he returns to turf (well held in one attempt) with a point to prove; can blow the start.

Three-time course winner (7f-1m) during the winter; 1lb lower than when second over C&D in February but needs to up his game after a couple of quiet runs.

Disappointed over 7f here four weeks ago but this trip probably suits better and he isn't handicapped out of things judged on his previous second here; wouldn't be ideally suited by a tactical event.
