Highly tried after winning a Wolverhampton novice (5f, AW) last summer, her best effort when fifth of 11 in the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (5f, good) in October; latest fifth of 13 at Chelmsford (6f, AW) was a fair effort, but she will need to improve a fair bit to win this; cheekpieces now given a go; stable also runs Yahsat.

Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out.
