Won three on the trot, two here, over 5f on fast ground in June/July; not disgraced in a competitive Goodwood handicap last time (5f, good to firm); could go well, but best form at shorter.

J: David Egan

T: Tom Clover

Has proved ideally suited by 5f on good to firm and, despite taking a hefty rise for two June wins, he didn't take much urging to get to the front at Newmarket last time, before nudged out to hold the second; a further 5lb rise in a better race asks for more but he should be in contention; yard won this in 2019.

Has a patchy profile but she won at Lingfield (5f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; well-held second over this trip at Lingfield last time, but she got hampered at the start and that was behind a big improver; shortlisted.

Narrowly won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) for Robert Cowell last October and has performed with credit in four handicaps on good to firm ground since returning in May, the last three for this yard; return to a soft surface not a problem and should again go well for triple-handed stable.
