On a run of eight defeats since going back-to-back in 1m6f turf handicaps in June; usually gives his running (races prominently) and this mark isn't beyond him; tries cheekpieces.

Two wins since joining Rod Millman, the latest a wide-margin success in a small field at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm) last month; second at Chepstow 25 days ago; handles good to soft but more to prove if it is slower.

J: David Probert

Went close over this sort of trip on AW in March but, after a successful stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) in June, he raced too freely (a regular trait) when well beaten by Gooloogong back there three weeks ago; hood goes on for the first time for this yard, which looks a smart move.

Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again.

Kept on well to hang on to her lead when making handicap debut at Windsor (extended 1m3f) last May; has run some sound races since, including on Tapeta (1m6f) in October, and perhaps just needed the run at Kempton (1m3f) 12 days ago; shouldn't be far away.

Mixed form in three qualifying runs in the spring but she made a solid start in handicaps when a close third of six at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) two weeks ago; that was behind The Bay Warrior but she should benefit from that run and is open to more progress at this trip; possibilities.

Smart middle-distance pedigree; didn't get close to that level when reaching the frame in three qualifying runs at up to 1m4f on AW in February/March but no surprise were she to prove a different proposition for her top yard now handicapping after 169 days off; all the more interesting if backed.
