Thorough stayer whose record around here reads 121 and she did it well when winning over this trip last month; 4lb higher, but given her liking for this venue she has to be taken very seriously.

Three 1m6f handicap wins, latest last September; only two runs this season, taking a big step back in the right direction at Kempton (2m, AW) on latest but she is 4lb out of the handicap today; 3lb claimer is recruited for this half-sister to the very smart stayer Quickthorn.

Was a 20-race maiden when joining this yard in August, but has relished the switch to Tapeta with wins at Newcastle (1m4f) last month and over this C&D 15 days ago; raised 5lb for that, but may still have more to offer for his new stable.

Started off for Rebecca Menzies with two poor AW runs in February/March (started very slowly both times) but his sixth of 15 over hurdles at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) this month gives him something to build on here.

All four wins have come on Wolverhampton AW, the latest off this mark last August (1m4f); absent since November and 0-21 on turf but that includes six seconds, one of those behind Amancio in this race last year after a break (3lb higher today); has to be in each-way calculations.

1-14 for Richard Hannon and returns to the Flat after making a successful stable/hurdle debut at Hereford back in March; proved then that he can go well fresh, but this is the longest trip he has attempted on the Flat so he does still have stamina to prove.
