    8st 7lb

    J: Ray Dawson

    T: Oli Rix

    Close third at Newmarket (good) in June when upped to 1m on his second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup here (10.2f, good to firm) last month; denied a clear run when mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) last time; the return to 1m could be ideal; ran well on soft early in career; chance.

    J: Ray Dawson

    T: Oli Rix

    Close third at Newmarket (good) in June on his first crack at 1m and second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup at York (10.2f, good to firm), finishing sixth of 22; has won here and today's drop back in trip/grade could prove ideal.

    J: Jonny Peate

    T: Oli Rix

    Two-time 7f winner who returned to form on his second start for this yard with a close third at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago, when he raced alone on the near-side rail; however, he's up in grade today and untested at the trip, and he's not bred for this distance.

    10st 1lb

    J: Jonny Peate

    T: Oli Rix

    Won last October (7f, AW) on final run for Andrew Balding and he's also won on fast turf; couldn't get into it on recent stable/seasonal debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) but may have needed the run and his trainer had an impressive winner last week with one having his second run for the yard.

    9st 3lb

    J: Jonny Peate

    T: Oli Rix

    Useful juvenile who ended his 3yo campaign with a win in a Newcastle handicap (7f, AW) in October; been gelded and left Andrew Balding for 150,000gns since; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher than last time and he needs a close look on return for new yard.
