J: Tom Marquand

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Back to form with a bang when seeing off his eight rivals over C&D (good) six weeks ago, albeit benefitting from a fine front-running ride from Danny Tudhope, poaching a clear early lead which he never looked like relinquishing; doubtful he'll be allowed as much rope this time.

Form & Verdict
0-4 for Bryan Smart and again pulled hard despite the fitting of a hood on stable debut at Ripon (1m handicap) where she was beaten 2l into third; has to settle if she's to fulfil what potential she has but this is a modest race.

Tailed off at triple-figure odds last summer on first three starts (1m/1m1f) and same story on reappearance in classified race here (1m) three weeks ago; transformation needed on this first crack at sprinting.
