She had been threatening prior to her Catterick win last month (6f, good to soft) but her latest C&D run was disappointing given she was well positioned throughout; needs to bounce back to her best.

Form & Verdict
As with most of the yard he's hit a rich vein of form and comes here chasing a hat-trick after 5f wins at Newcastle and here; the form of both wins has worked out and Tommie Jakes (on board for the first win) looks fine value for a 7lb claim against other apprentices; major player.

Hit the line strongly at Wolverhampton (5f; from 6lb lower) over three weeks ago; he's 7-39 on AW, but is yet to win on turf (0-20); handicap mark is still a fair one, particularly with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb, and this is the right type of race; don't discount.

Form & Verdict
Form figures are uninspiring but he ran well off a higher mark at Doncaster in June and there have been excuses for a few of his subsequent efforts; rushed up to lead from a wide stall over 7f here 11 days ago and didn't get home; cheekpieces now added; will be 3lb lower from the weekend but it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue were he to show up well.
