A dual winner (at up to 1m2f) last season; recorded a very good second over C&D in June and didn't enjoy a smooth run when fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m4f) two weeks ago; remains one to be interested in.

Came clear to win at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June but she was last of five on good to firm at Doncaster next time (raced freely); solid third of six at Musselburgh (1m5f, good) last month and returning to some slower ground may help.

J: George Downing

T: Ed Walker

200,000gns breeze-up 2yo; well held in her first four starts but she found lots of improvement upped to 1m4f when an easy winner of a Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) last month; this is a different test on quicker ground but a 6lb rise looks fair and she's a half-sister to a Listed winner on good to firm; major player.

Three course wins, the latest last August, and he's well treated on that form (even from out of the weights today); however, this season's form has been mixed and others have more pressing claims.

Three wins over 1m4f here, the latest off 4lb higher last August (good) when with Dianne Sayer; tailed off over 1m5f here last time (slowly away); takes a significant drop in trip; cheekpieces tried.

Finally got off the mark when a wide-margin winner over C&D three weeks ago; able to dictate the pace there so more is probably needed from a 6lb higher mark.

17-race maiden who was well beaten on AW last winter on his last two starts; however, he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts, many of which came here, and Eireann Cagney has won the last two runnings of this race; no surprise to see a big performance.
