Form & Verdict
Narrowly beaten at Newcastle in July, on her return from five months off; chances if she can build on that, with cheekpieces employed for the first time, but only turf win gained more than three years ago.

Reliable 9yo who won at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November and ran respectably on most recent start when a 13l fourth of nine here (2m6f, good; reapplied visor, retained) in June, shaping as though she'd be worth a try over this longer trip; needs considering off 2lb lower.

Did pretty well to score at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November, having been hampered by You Some Girl's penultimate-flight fall, and is only 2lb higher here; also suited by good ground but has a point to prove after last month's poor Flat run.

Two wins earlier in the summer and ran to at least that level when third at Musselburgh ten days ago; drops to Class 5 for first time since a Doncaster win in June and this thorough stayer certainly enters the argument.

Won this in 2021; tends to be all or nothing these days and his latest C&D fourth at a big price, when getting no peace in front (King Of Unicorns behind), was more like it on his second run back from a break.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner in June but disappointed in next two starts; firmly back on track at Ripon last month (1m4f) with a decisive win and 5lb rise for that might not stop him following up if showing the same determination.

Two wins last summer came at a lesser level, latterly over 2m1f off 3lb lower, and he wants a good test at this trip; doesn't boast the greatest reappearance record down the years and, like stablemate Saratoga Gold, may need this after seven months off.
