Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a clear third at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last Thursday; that was behind a well-handicapped rival who made all and he's a key player on this drop back in grade.

Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 12 starts but that came at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June and he's finished placed in his last three runs, latest when a rallying third over C&D (good) eight days ago; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he should go well again.

Looked as good as ever when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) on seasonal debut in April and again ran well over that C&D last month; didn't fire when back on turf recently (restless in stalls) but has form at this track and enters calculations.

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.

0-13 but she's a consistent type who has had some near-misses this summer and her latest fourth at Newmarket was behind a resurgent rival who won by almost 5l; now drops back into a Class 6 event and she has possibilities.
