Won here in May (6f, good to firm) and made it 2-2 at Lingfield when scoring here (6f, good to firm) last month; shapes as though she'll be fine now back down to 5f and she's a strong candidate given her record here.

Had been knocking on the door before holding on well to open account at Leicester (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; 3lb rise demands a bit more here but further progress is possible; well beaten the only previous time cheekpieces were used but that was over 8.3f on soft ground.

Gelded prior to his latest start and he showed improved form in finishing third of 14 in a 0-75 at Windsor (1m, good; favourite); didn't enjoy the cleanest run through on that occasion and he's open to further progress; one to take seriously.

J: William Buick

T: Hughie Morrison

Fourth of ten in maiden at Newbury (1m, soft) in April looked promising considering how badly he swerved to his left leaving the stalls; although not so marked, that behaviour at the start has been repeated on both outings since and he's made backward steps, the latest in a 6f handicap debut; gelded since; bit too early to forget that Newbury promise.
