Form & Verdict
Out of the frame in all four starts, pulling hard when fifth of seven on handicap debut after four months off at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded) 12 days ago (a neck behind Pannonica); more needed, but the first-time hood may help him settle better.

Looked to be going the wrong way but, having been off for three months and dropped in trip, she ran with credit when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; return to 6f shouldn't be an issue, but a bit more is needed for her to win.

J: Charlie Bennett

T: Conrad Allen

Huge chance on this year's best form, notably a C&D second off 7lb higher in February; refused to race at Yarmouth on her penultimate start though and that, allied to a modest effort at Chelmsford two weeks ago, leaves her with too much to prove for comfort.

Came closest to winning when beaten a neck and a head into third of eight over C&D a week ago; races off the same mark and any further progress would put him right in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Scored twice here (5f/6f) last autumn and back to form when second of eight over C&D a fortnight ago (winner has gone in again since); down 1lb and although more exposed than his rivals after 16 starts, he is the only previous winner in the field which must count for something.
