Tough task second time out as it turned out but she's ultimately gone backwards from her debut success; will need a big revival if she's to defy a penalty, back from two months off, on her AW debut (brother Call To Action went close here last winter).

Missed the podium for the first time in six runs when finding 7f too far at Newcastle latest; too inclined to hang under pressure late on for maximum confidence, but he sets the clear form standard on last autumn's Tapeta seconds (5f/6f) in particular; blinkers added.

Three expensive defeats now but he bumped into a couple of useful winners before not seeing out a stiff 5f on soft ground last time; it's easy to keep making excuses but he holds sound claims on this AW debut.

He has yet to start at a bigger price than 9-4 in his nine races but he has won only one of them; hard to fault his consistency but he is edging up the weights and might prove vulnerable for win purposes once again.
