J: Colin Keane

Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better.

J: Frederick Larson

Overcame a wide trip to score at Kempton (AW) last week, benefiting from the return to this grade and belated step up to 7f; now 3-6 in Class 4 events and remains unexposed at this distance; 5lb penalty is largely offset by Frederick Larson's useful claim; respected.

Only narrowly beaten the last twice in 7f handicaps when visored and in cheekpieces (latterly); returning to 6f won't harm this C&D winner and this race looks a bit easier.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning.

On a six-timer; all out to defy a double penalty over C&D 15 days ago and will need more off 5lb higher, especially as they claimed 5lb last time; still respected given the form he's in.

5lb lower than last winning mark and came close to taking advantage when finding only Vantheman too strong at Hamilton (5f, good) last week; meets that rival on 5lb better terms; should be involved in the shake-up once more.

C&D winner who boasts a good record at this time of year; will always be reliant on some luck given his hold-up style, which he hasn't had this year; on a handy mark when things do fall his way again, though, and is one to consider.

Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks.

Two wins over this trip in May and has run well on occasions since; failed to fire at Glorious Goodwood on latest outing but she's 1-1 on the AW (Kempton) and could have a say.

Yet to run a bad race over C&D, boasting a record of 12312 at the track; second in this race 12 months ago but 4lb higher this time round; met some trouble at a crucial stage at Newbury last time and that isn't the run to judge her on; should go well with all ground seeming to come alike to her.

Eight-time winner, the latest at Bath on her seasonal return in April (5f, good to firm); three solid efforts have followed and she's likely to give her running once again.

Absent since her second to Miss Show Off at Salisbury in early May; reappearance showed she can win when fresh but unplaced efforts in this race the last two years suggest a supporting role is more likely.
