Four wins at Southwell in early 2023; settled the outcome quite well over C&D last week

Maiden; fair course form over 7f and looks worth a try over further; can play a part

Regularly in the frame in 14-race career; stays this far; lack of win becoming a negative

One win, over 7f on turf; 0-8 on AW and today's draw is no selling point
