J: Hollie Doyle

T: David Loughnane

Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield.

Sole success came over 6f on heavy ground for former yard in Britain; decent run on similar ground at Gowran last month, trip probably too far both starts since; blinkers now tried and drops back in trip so could improve on recent efforts.

Not disgraced on soft ground over 7f on debut, and improved on that when an excellent second in a Newmarket maiden last month (6f, good; form sound); looks the one to beat.

Stepped up from 6f to 1m4f on her handicap debut when third here last month; below that form when eighth at Lingfield (1m4f) last time; first-time blinkers are now applied and she steps back in trip; something to prove.

Short of pace over 6f last term; fared better (finished about 3l behind race-fit Publicity) when upped to 1m4f at Wolverhampton on handicap/seasonal debut and should build on that effort; shortlisted.

After almost six months off, money came for him in the morning at Listowel last weekend and he bolted up over 7f; up 13lb and when he tried to back up a win last year after 11-day interval, he bombed; 'bounce factor' at play here too.

Poor RPRs over 6f/7f, never dangerous at Chelmsford (AW/stable/handicap debut) most recently; chance depends on whether new trip prompts significant improvement.
