0-7 for Michael Bell last year but did reach the frame on a couple of occasions; respectable third on stable debut here five weeks ago and could take a step forward with that behind him.

Returned to form when winning two classified events at Southwell (1m) last month but he flopped in his hat-trick bid there (handicap) last time; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and he's 1-17 on turf.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Looked as though he might be one to follow when off the mark at the 15th attempt over C&D in December, but hasn't really built on that performance despite running with some credit in two of his five starts since; edging back towards his winning mark, but others look more solid.

Two course wins over shorter and he had a near miss over C&D on his penultimate start (off this mark); tailed off last time but 1m4f on slow turf almost certainly too much of a test; better expected today.
