J: Robert Havlin

It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw.

Won three times over 9.4f here last year and ended that year with a keeping-on second over that trip; returns from two-month break on fairly tough mark, though, and this drop back to 8.6f is not ideal.

Form & Verdict
Both starts over 1m at Haydock, finishing second of 11 (good to soft) last month but not really progressing when fourth of six (good to firm) a week ago; respected on form, but the way he has performed so far suggests dropping in trip on this sharp track may not be ideal.

2-36 with one of his wins coming here (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year, the other at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June; placed five times from six starts over C&D this year, but below form on soft the last twice; could do with the ground drying out, but considered if it does.

Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter.

Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though.

1m course win (first-time cheekpieces) in February was a spike in performance; well below that level in two subsequent starts and hard to have confidence in her, especially over this trip.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise when third of nine on her Doncaster debut (6.5f, good) in June and only beaten a head and a short head when filling the same position at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) the following month; the form of that latest contest hasn't worked out, though, so she probably needs to find a bit more to win this.

Disappointed over 1m on penultimate start but otherwise it's been a solid campaign at 7f, including wins in May/June; acts on Polytrack; concern is that handicapper has caught up with her.
