Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away.

7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form.

Form & Verdict
His last two wins have come over C&D, the latest in this race 12 months ago when rated 4lb higher; those wins were on soft but he's fully effective on faster ground, as when close up behind The Cola Kid here 11 days ago (first run for 203 days); talented apprentice booked; high on the list.

She had overcome slow starts to win both her races this year, at Southwell (6f) on the first occasion and Nottingham (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; well on top at the finish last time and a 3lb rise looks fair; solid claims in her hat-trick bid.

Six wins include two over C&D and she was runner-up here on heavy ground in September off a 5lb higher mark than today's; below her best in recent starts but probably wasn't helped by racing on the wing at Goodwood four days ago; chance.
