Form & Verdict
Has been running well since March and she's won at Musselburgh (1m/7f, good) in her last three starts; up another 4lb but she's a strong traveller who still looks feasibly treated and is a big player again in her bid for a four-timer.

Three course wins last summer, at 1m and 7f (all on good); not in quite the same form this year, despite finishing second of five to stablemate Monhammer over C&D in August, and it would have been encouraging to see her at least repeat that run back here since; has some work to do.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider who is a triple AW winner; record of 0-19 on turf but he's run creditably in some big-field handicaps (6f/7f) this summer and was a close fourth here (6f, good) on Saturday; this is a quick turnaround but he could go well again back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
His two wins have been on soft/heavy but he handles most ground; last success was at Thirsk 16 months ago but he's been placed in last four starts and latest was behind the progressive Finn Ironside at Newcastle (7f, AW) ten days ago; on unchanged mark back on turf and he's respected.

He returned to form when third of 14 at Ayr (7f, soft) in September and backed it up, despite hanging, when scoring over that C&D (heavy) 17 days ago; up 3lb but he's won off higher and on good ground; can go well providing stall 20 proves no barrier.

Three wins at Catterick (7f, soft) last season and latest was off 2lb higher; gave it a decent shot from the front when fourth at Catterick 19 days ago but he's been up and down since his last success and needs to build on that last run.

Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty.
