Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted.

Siyouni filly finished last of ten at Longchamp on only start for the Graffard stable but caught the eye on yard debut over C&D last month, slow to break then coming home best of all in the closing stages under an educational ride; surely has more to offer and not surprising if she came on enough to feature and get much closer to Aces Wild, although may ideally want a bit further.
