Louis Treize

Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective.

Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising.

Dual course winner last season (5f/6f) and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Seven-time winner who didn't get home in a Windsor handicap (6f, good) a fortnight ago, but she does stay this far; has won on good to firm, but most of her successes have come on good ground or softer; sports headgear for the first time on her 60th outing.

Form & Verdict
Outbattled Louis Treize over C&D ten days ago (pair clear) to record his second C&D win; more will be needed to defy the penalty but he still has low mileage for his age.

His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface.

Form & Verdict
Only 1lb higher than for an AW win in December; that was 1m but he is effective over this shorter trip; underfoot conditions should be fine but he's up against in-form sprinters on his return from a 139-day break.

Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too.
