J: Toby Moore

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

Dual C&D winner (also third last month) who made a successful start for the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable over 6f at Newmarket (good) 13 days ago, well on top at the finish and recording a career-best RPR; had the advantage of the rail but his 7lb rise is offset by Toby Moore's claim and his record here affords him respect.

Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider.
