Justified favouritism at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) recently and remains well treated back up just 2lb; however, her last four wins have come at the same venue and she has something to prove on her first run here.

Often leads and her last three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last year; finished down the field in last four runs but this is a drop back in grade and she's now 7lb lower than for her last success; one to keep an eye on.

Often leads; ran in a Listed race in May but underwhelming handicap efforts since on Newmarket's July course and she usually runs that track well; needs a revival and she's unraced here.

0-5 but has run well to go close in his two nurseries (5f, good) and could be bang there once more.

Progressed well as 2yo and has kept the momentum going since switched to Tapeta back from a break, scoring narrow 5f wins at Newcastle (led close home) and seeming to win with a bit in hand over C&D 18 days ago; unlikely that a further 3lb rise will prevent another bold show.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Nigel Tinkler

Several near misses as a 2yo and he overcame trouble in running to make a winning return at Newcastle 19 days ago (5f); that form has a solid look to it and although this track will present a slightly different test, he still looks feasibly weighted up 4lb.

Form & Verdict
Improved form in the tongue-tie the last twice, finishing third at Doncaster (6f, soft) on nursery debut then winning at Chepstow (5f, good to soft); major player under penalty if the better ground isn't an issue.

The return to soft ground and application of a tongue-tie appeared to help when he made a positive nursery debut at Doncaster (6f) latest, where he raced freely and kept on for third; drops 1lb and back in trip; likely to be involved.

Third of five in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) on second start is her best show; 50-1 at Catterick latest (5f, good) and shaped okay, so she is one to consider on this handicap debut.
