First reserve; four wins here including three over C&D; is 12lb lower than when last winning here in March and signs of life over C&D on latest; lurking on a dangerous mark if she gets a run.

Maiden below best on turf recently but has hit the frame in three of his four previous runs at this venue; beaten 0.5l off 14lb higher over C&D in February so well handicapped and rider takes off a further 7lb; drops in grade and could be dangerous.
