Form & Verdict
Maiden who's been expensive to follow, including in a couple of handicaps since returned to turf; has often been inclined to pull hard and is dropping to 5f for the first time, which ought to help.

Has had her moments at the stalls but has progressed this year, continuing to prove competitive off her revised mark since a Yarmouth win off 2lb lower; ran well here early in the year and it wouldn't be a surprise to see her take this.

Both wins have come this year, the latest a narrow success in a four-runner contest at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in July; still 3lb higher and is unraced on ground softer than good.

Cheekpieces have helped and he just looked to find Ascot's 6f stretching him in better company last time; whether today's easy 5f is too far the other way is the question.

Led close home over C&D (good to firm) in first-time blinkers in July and pipped the unlucky Pull The Rug to follow up in small field at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month; contests deeper race on this hat-trick attempt but was only nudged up 1lb for that latest win.

Improver since cheekpieces went on and possible he found firm ground against him upped in class last time; also possible he's reached his ceiling mark now and he'll need more from the lowest stall.

Off the mark with a 5f win at Chelmsford in December; added a turf success at Bath in April (5f, good) and he is only 2lb higher today; two defeats since have come in stronger company and Billy Loughnane has been on board for both wins (from three rides on him); good chance.

Found a weak AW novice when winning here last autumn and has finished well held in two handicaps since; had excuses each time, pulling hard over 6f on her comeback, but she has to prove this mark within range on her second turf start.

A few costly defeats to date, twice hanging left on Tapeta last year; the money came again on his handicap debut a fortnight ago, having undergone wind surgery, and he's evidently felt capable of better; drops from 6f under 7lb claimer Oliver Hoodless (1-7).

Raced at sprint trips in early starts for the yard but better for the return to 7f when winning here (good to firm) in August; not so effective at 1m (AW) since and although just a respectable front-running fourth at Yarmouth recently, the return to more patient tactics could suit.

Got his act together with emphatic win in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month, his fifth start for James Owen; could still have more to offer for this stable but was safely held on Polytrack (1m) last week and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.
