She appreciated the step up in trip when opening her account at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft; second start for this yard) in June; weak in the market when last of five (1m, good) next time but maybe getting back on a softer surface will help.

Ex-Irish filly who was going beyond 6f for the first time when winning here (7.3f, soft) in June on her second stable start; 7lb higher today and on different ground, but she had 3l in hand last time and could have more to offer at this sort of trip; key player.

Reared at the start and couldn't get into it at Newmarket (7f, good) last month when back from a break; won a four-runner nursery at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December on his first run since being gelded and he drops back in grade today; could have a part to play.

Doesn't seem totally straightforward but he showed the benefits of a gelding operation at Newcastle (7f, AW) on final 2yo start and may build on that success; raised 4lb but Ashley Lewis takes off 5lb.

Posted an improved effort when holding on to win by a head at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; made all) 16 days ago, getting off the mark at the sixth attempt; this extra furlong is a slight concern but he has claims if seeing it out; only 3lb higher.

Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; a 4l win on yard debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) triggered this 10lb higher mark off which he struggled back there a month ago; might be high in the weights now.
