J: Billy Garritty

T: Ben Haslam

Seven-time winner; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune and he has met trouble in two of his three runs for Ben Haslam; has the ability to win at this level and stall 1, while not optimal, should at least keep him clear of some of the traffic.

Pushed out under hands and heels to score at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 4lb lower) last month, but was no match for stablemate Marajito over C&D (good, 9-2) last week; remains in fine fettle though, and has a C&D win to her name, so she ought to be thereabouts.

Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution.
