First two wins were on soft and heavy; has improved with each run this term, last time dealing with fast ground to beat Knight Templar at Sandown (1m6f); a 3lb rise isn't too damaging and she's hard to knock.

Her best form has come on slower than good and she looks on a fair mark when granted such conditions; latest Newbury third (2m, good to firm) was a good effort as she was keeping on well before being hampered by the winner 120 yards from home; each-way claims despite the likely drying conditions.

Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again.

Completed a top-of-the-ground hat-trick this year (1m6f-2m1f) and remains in good form, as a tactical race wouldn't have suited at Yarmouth and she was never ideally positioned after starting slowly last time (finished 8.5l behind the winner); another to consider.

Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; has had some struggles since but he got back to form with a bang when winning by 7l here (1m4f, AW) last Monday; that was off a tumbling mark and he's a major player if he can repeat that form under a penalty.
