Close second of 14 on handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good) and didn't quite see out the 1m4f at Haydock (good to firm) latest, though again ran well; looks handicapped about right but not without hope.

All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal.

May have found the trip stretching her when sixth of eight at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; ran well over C&D on her debut, but she doesn't always look the easiest and others look more solid; no headgear today.

Both wins have been over 1m2f on the AW, the latest here in November off only 1lb lower; it was a Class 2 in which she predictably struggled on her latest visit (AW) and reportedly lost her action at Pontefract latest; earns respect.

Much better on the AW than on turf, her two wins both coming on Polytrack including over C&D last summer; just 1lb higher than when chasing home a subsequent winner at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in June and she could go well.

Not as good as he was when winning three times at about this trip in France (all on turf) but he was backed into favouritism at Windsor a month ago (1m2f, soft) and was a bit keen; ran quite well on good to firm on his penultimate start; possible.
