6-11 over 10.7f-1m4f at Dundalk, including winning his last three under Rory Mulligan; 4lb higher mark and different track pose questions, but not opposed lightly.
Record in AW handicaps for Denis Quinn since last June reads 5112151113, including two wins over C&D; ran right up to his best when third of 11 in an even stronger contest here five weeks ago; major player on first start for John Ryan (same owner) while Jack Dace is 1-1 on him.
Dundalk regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m this year, but he may be vulnerable to younger legs back down in trip.
In the frame in six of his eight starts since returning to the AW last September, but his losing run is mounting yet he remains 8lb above his last winning mark; others more compelling.
Losing run now up to 14, but his last couple of efforts have been encouraging as when second of six in a slightly stronger contest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; still on his last winning mark and holds each-way claims.
Formerly a smart AW performer for Mick Appleby, but not quite the force of old; makes his debut for another new yard (same owners) in a new headgear combination after eight starts for Shark Hanlon; well treated if he could rediscover anything like his best form.
Unexposed 4yo who managed to defy a three-month absence at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; 4lb rise looks manageable and there may yet be more to come from him; considered.
Record in AW handicaps reads 11124135; pulled his chance away at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month, but may settle better in this bigger field; one for the shortlist.
Had dropped 3lb below his last winning mark when second of nine behind course-specialist Whitcombe Rockstar at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month, his first start in 75 days; races off the same mark, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in three years; stable runs three.
0-11 in handicaps, but is closely matched with Wyld Bill on February's C&D running and ran at least as well as could have been expected when fourth of nine over 7f here a week ago; drawn wider than ideal, but not dismissed entirely.
Dual Chelmsford winner (1m2f, Polytrack) just under a year ago and only 1lb higher than for the latest success; has a bit to find with Wyld Bill and Metallo on February's C&D running, though.
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.
