Maiden win over 7f here last month; opening mark on the high side but improvement likely

Ahead of Punk Poet when 3rd over C&D; respected again but is 3lb worse off with that rival

Good 5th at Southwell last month; extra furlong will suit; 1lb below last winning mark

Best form on ground with an ease so surface is a worry on AW debut; probably up against it
2 (3)	Walhaan Grey J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:Ciaran Murphy	J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:Ciaran Murphy	137	tp	614251	93	103	81	—	—	—	+20	27.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%

Her mark looks high back on the Polytrack; Pier Pressure looks the stable's best chance

Trip stretched him latest; inexperienced pilot but the 6-time course winner could go well
