Form & Verdict
C&D winner in June and it was pretty comfortable when doubling his tally at Ayr three weeks ago (6f, good); 7lb rise asks a question but he looks progressive.

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear.

J: Warren Fentiman

All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard Fahey

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does.

Form & Verdict
Useful and consistent at novice level and off a reduced mark he ran his best race yet in handicaps to be a close fourth at Redcar (7f, good; first-time visor); has been gelded and should be fine returned to 6f; could go well.

Can start slowly but he's usually thereabouts at the business end and ran another solid race at Newmarket 11 days ago; 6f is his trip and this stiff finish will suit him; cheekpieces given a go.

Returns from six weeks off but she was in good form when last seen, third at Beverley despite meeting trouble in running; should be thereabouts again, although plenty of rain would be a negative as she's been withdrawn several times due to soft/heavy ground.
