Two 7f nursery wins at Leicester; good second to a huge improver over C&D in May but she needs to rediscover that form; blew the start last time out.

Better effort at a big price last time and today's extra furlong should suit on that evidence (dam has produced winners over various trips); interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Off since a poor effort ten weeks ago; the return to softer ground should help but his spring win came from the front over a stiff 7.4f and he'll do well to dictate from stall 12.

Readily made all at Beverley (7.4f, soft) in May, for which he went up 8lb to this mark; back to form with solid fourth at Chester (7.5f, good) last Friday but needs something extra to come out on top today.

Fair on the Flat at his best; generally very disappointing over hurdles but his third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in March was a big step forward; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say if tuned up after 171-day break.
