Low-mileage 4yo, who has form figures of 223 this season and that latest third was a bold bid in a Ripon handicap (1m2f, good) last month; still has scope for further progress and he's respected on this drop back in trip.

T: Roger Varian

Improved with each run as a 3yo, getting off the mark in a C&D maiden last October (good ground); couldn't land a blow on his seasonal/handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, but still has potential and blinkers could help unlock it.

J: P J McDonald

T: Roger Varian

Made debut last September and improved with each of his first three runs, winning at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in October when last seen; Newmarket trainer Roger Varian has a very healthy 29% strike-rate here and this well-bred 4yo has considerable potential off his opening mark.

Lightly raced 4yo who was an eye-catching third from the rear behind Warrant Holder over C&D (good) in May on his stable/handicap debut, following a year off, and four runs later he got off the mark at Ayr (1m2f, good) last Sunday when making most of the running; back up in grade under a 5lb penalty but he may well have more left in the tank.

Appeared to be found wanting for stamina over C&D two runs back but that was a warm handicap and he's since gone down narrowly in a Class 3 over 1m at Redcar (good; new tongue-tie), where he wasn't stopping; races up with the pace and firmly in the reckoning.

Made all in a 1m novice as a 2yo and very nearly did so in another; comfortably held in Listed races on her last two appearances, latterly when tongue tied and essentially disappointing at Newmarket (1m2f; first run on ground quicker than good); it asks a lot of her to bounce back in a race of this nature.
