In top form and runner-up over C&D and at Ayr last month; commands major respect

Hasn't won for over two years but he's in peak form; likely to be thereabouts once more

Drops from Class 2 to Class 4; C&D winner and handles the mud; interesting

Better form on AW than turf and tailed off only outing on softer than good

Bit below par last twice but handles these conditions and may bounce back

Weak in market and tailed off on stable debut here last month; needs a major leap forward

Now 0-18 since sole win in September 2020; hard to recommend from 5lb out of the weights
