T: Antony Brittain

Put in a dominant display over C&D on his penultimate run and was a creditable third back on turf at Carlisle (5f, soft) 12 days ago; up another 2lb but he still looks feasibly treated and has possibilities back up in trip.

Form & Verdict

Getting on for two years since the last of his seven wins but he's operating off a lowly mark now and his close second at Ayr nine days ago (5f, good) was a welcome step back in the right direction, pulling clear of the third; upped 3lb but has the rail draw and a big run should be forthcoming.

Last two wins came at Wolverhampton AW (6f) last November and in April; seemed to be running back into form when third at Ripon (6f, soft) ten days ago and she holds strong claims off just 1lb higher than her last winning mark, in first-time blinkers.

Conditions to suit and he has run well over C&D in the past; far from prolific in recent times and he'll need to raise his game a notch to come out on top.

Three C&D wins to his name; off the mark for the year at Redcar (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago and a 4lb rise is manageable; effective on soft and likely to go well.
