Runner-up here over 1m two starts back, then went one better here eight days ago, also over 1m; now drops back to 6f for the first time since his second start and that would be a concern under a 5lb penalty.

Signed off for Dylan Cunha in good heart, winning twice at Yarmouth (6f/1m, good to firm) in the summer; 22-1 for his stable debut but he maintained the momentum, beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f) a fortnight ago; up 2lb but another good effort looks likely.

Bids for hat-trick after completing a Yarmouth double (1m/6f) for Dylan Cunha; shade fortuitous last time (runner-up's rider dropped whip) and switches to a contrasting venue on debut for new yard.

Her 22 starts have yielded just one win but she was a close second of 18 at 25-1 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and backed that up when runner-up to at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, albeit no match for the thriving winner; firmly in calculations given recent showings.
