Reeled off a four-timer on AW last winter (two of the wins here); may have needed his recent return to action (behind One Night Stand) but suspicion he's a bit high in the weights for now.

Four consecutive 5f wins on AW last winter, two over C&D; below best behind One Night Stand when last seen on sand in January and out of luck on turf since but only 3lb above his latest win and he could quite easily turn things round back here.

His four AW wins have come at Wolverhampton but he has run well over C&D; some good efforts off his lower turf mark this summer and when disappointing at Wolverhampton two weeks ago he was drawn wide; better expected this time.

Went from strength to strength on AW last winter and well suited by this C&D; often leads but Night On Earth (worse off at these weights) got the better of the early battle when this one came through for a clear win at Chelmsford in March; below best back there latest but can't rule out.

Ended a long losing run at Wolverhampton in June; two solid placed efforts back from a four-month break last month and had more in hand over the runner-up than the neck margin suggests when winning over C&D 11 days ago; should remain competitive at this level.

Successful in the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark; in good form at present and when well backed here 11 days ago he saw no daylight in the closing stages, coasting home in third behind Josies Kid; has to enter calculations.

Form & Verdict

Having dropped a long way in the weights he has returned to form in recent months, pipped at the post over C&D in September before a smooth C&D win 24 days ago (Josies Kid back in third); 2lb rise not excessive; leading contender.

Both wins have come on Polytrack but she's still lightly raced on turf and has placed at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in her last two starts; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if this sets up for the closers.
