Sprung a surprise when beating a 1-25 shot, who's won since, in a Ripon match on her debut; looked to win that fair and square, though, and she's entitled to improve.

Placed in five 1m2f-1m4f Listed races this season and beaten a neck in 1m4f Group 3 here two weeks ago; 0-11 since her handicap win but she's likely to be on the premises once again.

Placed in five Listed races this season and can give another good account, but she's 0-10 since winning a handicap last July and it's likely this 5yo is vulnerable once more, especially now back up in grade.

Inconsistent and winless across his first 17 starts before scoring in first-time tongue-tie/blinkers at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; needs to back up that latest performance but he won with something to spare and a 5lb rise may not stop him if the headgear maintains its positive effect.

Bit of promise at a big price on his Kempton debut and appreciated the step up to this trip (out of a 1m4f winner) at the same course last time, winning despite hanging right and still looking green; remains open to further improvement.

Dual course winner (both 7f, good) who turned in a solid effort when second to a progressive rival on his C&D comeback (nudged up 2lb) in March; happiest coming from off a strong pace and the question is whether this will be run to suit on good to firm ground.

His last two wins have come at this track (7f); returns from a 141-day absence on a good mark, 6lb lower than when second at Royal Ascot last June (7f, good to firm); unplaced in each of his three seasonal debuts but he would have gone close at Leicester on last spring's return had he seen any daylight; the owners also run Sixtygeesbaby, while this 6yo is also one of three runners for David O'Meara.

Solid record at Doncaster comprises two wins over 7f and two placed efforts, including over 6.5f when a shade unlucky; return to this location looks a plus but the drop back to bare 6f may prove a negative.
