J: George Bass

T: Sheena West

8yo who snapped a long losing run in a classified at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) in June before respectable fourth of eight under a penalty in Epsom handicap (1m4f, good); she's 2lb lower than last time; chance.

J: George Bass

T: Sheena West

Went close at Windsor (11.5f) in May and she was winning her fifth race when landing a 1m4f Brighton classified (also good to firm) going away last Monday; 4lb penalty makes things trickier back in a handicap but she's not discounted.

Regressive, ex-Irish maiden who ran well a couple of times for Denis Quinn on Tapeta early in the year; not a bad debut for his third yard, back on turf after four months off, nine days ago and is capable at this level.

Irish trainer doesn't bring many across to run on the Flat (0-20 down the years); this gelding has shown very little at huge prices in three runs over shorter and would want to see some support before factoring him in.
