Won back-to-back over C&D of late, promoted to first on latest; 5lb higher but respected

Seven-time AW winner at 5f-6f; fairly treated but raced far too keenly on latest

Three-time C&D winner; not much in two runs for this yard; this trip more suitable

Maiden's two best runs have come over C&D; off a fair mark on handicap debut; chance

Good run behind Buddy Batt on latest; now 19lb below last course win and has the rail draw

Nine-time course winner is now 7lb below last winning mark so dangerous to discount
