Ran well when third of 12 on his reappearance over C&D this month (Rogue Dynasty second), but all six wins have come over 7f including when recording his fourth course success back here eight days ago, for which he has a 4lb penalty.

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Stuart Williams

Had his yard debut sewn up from some way out on this track (7f, good to firm) in July but subsequently faded over 1m here; on the upgrade on Chelmsford AW since, showing plenty of dash on the drop to 6f but reeled in late, then ridden more patiently and finally getting to the front over 7f there since; has potential back at 6f on return to turf.

C&D win in March off 3lb lower and she ran a better race when third of 12 in a Class 5 over C&D 18 days later; up and down since but she can't be discounted.

Both wins over 7f, the second here in March; good third to a subsequent winner at Newbury (1m, good) last time but not sure this step up in trip will suit as she can pull hard.

Progressive as a 3yo (C&D winner) but regressed last year and has continued to slide this season; hit a bit of traffic when not beaten far in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest but others look to have stronger claims.

All three wins have been on the AW (7f/1m), the most recent at Chelmsford last August, but he returned to form at Windsor (6f, good to firm) ten days ago, finishing well to be second of 11; won't mind the step back up in trip and he's shortlisted.

Two handicap wins at 7f and 1m on AW and he ran to a useful level in a better race than this at Southwell in April; hasn't come near breaking his duck on turf on last two starts but he did run well in a better 6f race at Chester last summer so can't be totally dismissed.

Won 6f Pontefract nursery (good) off 2lb higher last summer for Jonathan Portman; struggled over that trip on next four outings but took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 over 7f at Doncaster (good to firm) 26 days ago; the fourth and fifth from that race have run well to be placed since, so the form could be okay; enters calculations.
