Made a winning reappearance in a Musselburgh maiden (7f, good; first run after a wind op) in May and he has continued his progress in handicaps, beaten 1l or less in his last four starts; handles soft ground; shouldn't be far away.

Four wins this year include a C&D handicap on good to firm and now only 3lb higher than for the last of those victories; close up at Wolverhampton last month (7f) and lesser shows either side of that were at Epsom, a track that perhaps doesn't suit her.

Has the best pedigree in this field and she's 4-13 having won four 7f turf handicaps this year; better than ever when third last month and when below par at Epsom it was her first run on ground slower than good; has yet to prove herself on the AW but only had two attempts.

He finished a neck second in C&D novice (soft) last October and he bettered that effort when taking C&D handicap (good to firm; made all to beat Masaban) in July; hasn't matched that in three subsequent starts elsewhere but he evidently likes this place and is just 1lb above that winning mark; of interest.
