Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap

4-11 on AW and only 1lb higher than for last October's front-running win at Southwell (1m3f); lower draw would have been ideal but she has the ability to feature.

Had wind surgery in December and he has run three good races since, finishing fourth over C&D before two runner-up efforts at Kempton (1m); should remain competitive.

Ten-race maiden and out of sorts so far this year; had little chance the way the race panned out in a 1m handicap here two weeks ago but he was keeping on well at the finish, boding well for today's return to 1m2f; drops in class too and he's of interest.

Just 1-28 on AW but he went desperately close to doubling that tally in an amateur rider's race over C&D last month, only headed in the dying strides (first run for Adam Kirby); 2lb higher today; one to consider with new headgear tried.

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted.
