Has a patchy record and both wins have come on AW but she returned from a break with a close call at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June; this is a deeper race but she pulled clear with the winner last time and is only 1lb higher here; respected.

Consecutive AW wins at 2m and 1m6f before Christmas but she didn't shine on her latest two starts and returns from a break with something to prove in her first turf handicap.

Has shown little in all five starts including on his return from a 279-day absence here (1m3f) this month; not bred for this sort of trip and easily passed over.

Well beaten in three starts over 1m2f for Philip Kirby earlier in the season and a similar story on stable/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; up another half-mile in trip and best watched.

Form & Verdict
Made a successful reappearance in a Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April, but out of the frame in all six starts in handicaps over 1m-1m2f in the meantime; drops in grade and there is some stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree, but whether he wants as severe a test as this remains to be seen.

Sole win was a novice race last April before he went handicapping; reappearance was the only time he's come close to making the most of his fall in the weights but that was four starts ago and over 7f on AW.

Form & Verdict
Appears to be improving as he steps up in trip and he made it 12th-time lucky at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) ten days ago, looking to idle in front and winning with a bit more in hand than the neck margin would suggest; has gone well here before and respected from 3lb higher.
