Three wins over 6f/7f on turf this year but he didn't appear to get home when fifth of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; has run well on Tapeta and the return to this trip should suit on Polytrack debut after a short break, but he is drawn wider than ideal.

Won with a bit up her sleeve on last month's handicap debut at Redcar (1m, good) and ran big race in defeat under penalty at Windsor (1m, good to firm) a few days later; effectively another 3lb higher here but should cope with the drop back in trip and commands respect.

A model of consistency in six outings, making the frame each time; won cosily at Redcar (1m, good) in May, ran well under a penalty at Windsor (1m, good to firm) a few days later, and she was far from disgraced at Sandown next time considering the drop to 7f appeared to inconvenience her; obvious contender now returned to 1m.

Below-form fourth in first-time blinkers over C&D (good) on penultimate start; did better when the headgear was left off again at Newmarket on latest, while shaping as if 6f was shorter than ideal; needs a return to peak 2yo form.

Managed only third when odds-on for Salisbury maiden (6f, good to firm) on seasonal debut three weeks ago but certainly didn't run badly there; back up in trip and fitted with blinkers for today's handicap debut; probably still has potential.
