One win from 38 starts, over 1m2f at Chelmsford last summer (0-50 classified); just three runs this year and he's been short of his best in each of them; others more persuasive for win purposes.

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer.

J: Jay Mackay

T: John O’Shea

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.

Three wins; just missed out on making that four when narrowly denied over C&D in August on her return from an absence; raced too freely and dropped right out at Leicester latest; clearly a strong contender if putting her best foot forward.
