She's fully 8lb lower than when winning at Epsom (7f, good) last August but for good reason, having been unable to get competitive this year; the first-time blinkers need to prompt a major revival.

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.

Well suited by switchback tracks and took advantage of a handy mark when winning on his C&D comeback in April; found life tougher off his revised mark in better company here last time but this is more his speed back down 2lb.

Operating below a winning level kept mostly to 7f-1m this year; record of 033 granted 6f on turf (one place over C&D), never failing to record an RPR of at least 51, so this first assignment granted such a trip/surface combination since spring 2023 may be worth a go; blinkers added.
