9st 3lb

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck.

J: Harry Russell

T: Paul Midgley

Finished five places behind Arlington at Ripon 11 days ago but he met trouble in running; beaten only a head at Nottingham (5f, good) earlier in July and a repeat of that form would give him reasonable claims.

J: Harry Russell

T: Paul Midgley

Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running.

J: Harry Russell

T: Paul Midgley

Just two wins from 24 starts but he went very close in a classified event at Nottingham (5f, good) last Friday; has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and both wins have been on Tapeta; respected.

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when running okay in two 5f turf handicaps last month but he's better suited by AW surfaces and slow starts are often an issue.
