Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off.

Form & Verdict
Won four over 7f in 2022 but she hasn't been finding much over 6f/7f in 2022 and was suited by the drop to 5f when a cosy winner at Windsor last week (soft); is 1lb lower today and ought to be fine over this trip now she's hit form but some doubts linger.

Triple C&D winner for Robyn Brisland in 2021 and came good for current stable at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in June, having reportedly benefited from the reapplication of a hood; reverted to her free-going tendencies when midfield on consecutive outings without a hood last month, though, and the headgear is again missing here.

Form & Verdict
Multiple headgear experiments to no avail this year (no aids today) but he was worried out of a first win only late on at Ayr in August (6f, good) and is well treated on his 2yo form over C&D last autumn (good to soft); interesting contender for new yard.

Went very close in a 6f Ayr maiden (good) in his final run for Phillip Makin in August but he's been well held in a handicap (6f) and seller (1m) at Redcar in both runs for current yard; record now stands at 0-17 and has something to prove from wide draw back on AW.
