J: Millie Wonnacott

T: Harry Charlton

Unraced on softer than good; won four of her seven handicaps, the latest win in good style under Millie Wonnacott at Newbury in July; easily her worst display in those races, however, came off this 8lb higher mark at Windsor (again 1m2f on good to firm) on her only start since, when reportedly fractious in the preliminaries; needs to bounce back with another improved show.

Overall record of 1-19 but his win was off 2lb lower at Kempton (2m, AW) in June and he's posted some creditable efforts since; finished a remote second on turf here (1m5f, good) last time but that was behind a major improver and he's respected back up in trip; cheekpieces added.

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Dominic Ffrench Davis

Sole success in 18 starts under rules came at Kempton (2m, AW) last month, but he does act on turf and the form of his latest fifth of eight at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) is working out quite well; best form would give him a chance.

Bounced back quickly from a lesser run in a visor (quickly discarded) when scoring in cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; has also won on good to firm) 15 days ago; put up 5lb but he's unexposed over this trip.
