Made it 4-11 on AW with last-gasp win at Newcastle 11 days ago; respected off 2lb higher

Improver who has won here in his last four starts; big player under another penalty

Last win was in Germany in 2023 and he needs to find more back up in trip

Dual course winner but both wins were in 2023 and he didn't really fire over C&D last time

Record of 3-6 on turf but he's been well held in three AW runs; down the list

Unexposed on AW and he needs checking in market on return for new yard
7 (3)	Caelan Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Olly Murphy	J:Joe Fanning T:Olly Murphy	122	—	00-695	69	92	55	20d	—	—	+2	6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
On dangerous mark and he caught the eye of the stewards at Southwell last time; in the mix
