Both turf wins have been at Tipperary though ran well over C&D last summer; showed more than he has been of late back at Tipperary latest although has a bit to find with a couple of these on that form. |

Winless since her 2yo days and she's finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in her three runs this year; losing run is now up 30 and others are preferred. |

Winless since her 2yo days and has had plenty of chances at a similarly low level for this yard in recent times; finished behind three of these over C&D five weeks ago and is lowest rated by a good few pounds; will do well to finish placed. |

Thrown in on some of her Irish form but she's proving frustrating for new connections; ran well for second at Southwell a fortnight ago but she wasn't in quite the same form at Newcastle last week (off 3lb lower); another change of accessories today; drawn widest. |

Dual 5f turf scorer in Ireland, but despite having dropped well below her last winning mark she has been disappointing in three starts for her new yard; the switch to first-time cheekpieces will need to make a difference. |
