All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Four-time AW winner; ran okay when fifth of 12 over this C&D in June but he failed to beat a rival home at Hamilton (1m5f, good; beaten 24l) 75 days ago; switches back to AW and drops in trip having been off since.

Well backed when narrowly making it tenth-time lucky over C&D last month and he ran just as well when second of ten back here a fortnight later; up another 2lb, but the third horse from that race won here last Friday and he remains unexposed for a 6yo; stable also runs Above The Line.

Well beaten in two starts on turf in Ireland as a 2yo and was having her first start since when third of 11 on stable debut here (8.6f; 200-1) a fortnight ago; well beaten by the first two and the slow winning time raises doubts over the value of the form, but she remains open to improvement now handicapping.
