Struggled when finishing seventh over this trip at Kempton at the start of this month on his most recent outing. Interesting to see how he fares racing off a mark 4lb lower than when winning over C&D in January.
Winner of his two most recent starts including by 1½L over this trip at Yarmouth (good) last week. Return to the AW no issue and he looks likely to play a leading role under a 6lb penalty.
Dundalk maiden winner over this trip last November and ran well when finishing 1L second in a first time hood (absent here) on her stable debut at Wolverhampton (5f) recently. One to note in this contest.
Shown ability on all four starts to date including when 2¼L third to Lezardrieux on handicap debut over 5f at Yarmouth (good) last week. Notable runner with cheekpieces tried for the first time.
Good 1¼L fourth in a 5f handicpa at Kempton in January and was hampered when finishing a well held tenth upped to 7f at Wolverhampton the following month. Return to this trip a positive with a hood tried for the first time.
Finished fourth on each of his last two starts including when beaten 6¾L fourth to Lezardrieux in a small field 5f event at Yarmouth (good) last week. Others make more appeal.

LEZARDRIEUX looks capable of completing a hat-trick on his return to the AW by taking this three-year-old only handicap. The selection was a winner on turf on his most recent start and can confirm form with Sampers Seven who finished runner-up to him on that occasion. Third place can go the way of Limaro Prospect who had excuses when disappointing on his most recent start.
