0-20; well below form on sole start here (penultimate start) but was drawn wide; runner-up on AW at Kempton and Wolverhampton (upped 9.4f) on starts either side and that brings him firmly into the each-way picture.

0-8 but came closest to winning when beaten a neck by Jenny Ren in a slowly run race here (1m4f) last month; stamina-laden pedigree suggests she should relish the longer trip and one to be interested in.

Sole win (19 races) was a 10.5f handicap on Dundalk Polytrack in April in first-time cheekpieces; out of form in July-September but staged a partial revival at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago on second start for new yard; big player, very well handicapped judged on best efforts.

Probably effective here; can spoil his chance with slow starts; still regularly on the premises on turf this year and ran on into third of nine when upped to 1m3f on Southwell AW on penultimate start; needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat one month ago but he's on a dangerous mark.

Third at Doncaster (7f) last June on debut but down the field in all four runs since, including in two handicaps (6f/7f; tailed off latest); makes AW debut for new yard after £12,000 sale (left Ismail Mohammed) in July and this different trip is very plausible on pedigree; market support would be very interesting.

Looked to be going the wrong way but there was a bit more encouragement from her at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (in this headgear combination for the first time), keeping on in the straight despite being short of room against the rail; this is weaker still and a revival isn't out of the question.
