Form & Verdict

Off the mark on turf at the 19th attempt when powering clear in the closing stages at Pontefract 11 days ago; very likely he was flattered by his track position on that occasion but he's landed stall 1 here and isn't handicapped out of things under his 5lb penalty.

Off the mark on turf at the 11th attempt when scoring at Bath nine days ago (5.5f, good to firm); effectively only 2lb higher today despite the penalty; should give his running but others preferred for win purposes.

Five-time winner on the AW, four of those victories coming around a left-hand turn; in good form at Kempton last month but she has only had two runs on turf and finished unplaced on both occasions (although still running creditably); others more persuasive.
