Form & Verdict
Has been in sparkling form, winning twice at Worcester over 2m4f on good in July; in a higher grade, he was never travelling before being pulled up back there last month; it remains to be seen if that was just a blip but hard to be confident about his chance here.

Won this last year and is fully 13lb lower this time around; he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces but has been struggling this season and a major turnaround is necessary.

Just two wins from 43 starts and was well held at Southwell (2m4f) two weeks ago, but he justified favouritism over C&D (good; 6-4) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track.

Went chasing late in her career but she's making a good fist of it and was going best from some way out when winning at Exeter (3m, good) in March; no blame attached for defeat next time and she didn't appreciate the 3m2f trip at Fontwell recently; a sharp 3m should suit; close up.
