Three-time C&D winner, all in late summer, two of them off tonight's mark; stable won this last year but she doesn't arrive in much form, having looked to have no excuses in a weak handicap here recently.

Stable has found some form again lately and this consistent gelding did his bit when justifying heavy support in good style at Yarmouth ten days ago; a wide stall down from 6f and upped 7lb demands more but he's shortlisted.

Unlikely soft ground was optimal either side of his Bath win in the spring and he's better treated than on turf, being 7lb lower than at Chepstow; is one to consider for a yard enjoying a good summer.

Patchy for new yard since returning from almost a year off; her Lingfield second shows she's still capable, though, and 5f on Tapeta is ideal, so it wouldn't be a huge shock were she to pop up.
