Modest fourth upped to 11.5f at Lingfield last time, taking record to 0-6; however, gave the impression he may improve for this combination of extra yardage and first-time headgear.

Visor has helped, bar one blip at Yarrmouth, and won a weak handicap easily off 7lb lower over C&D 17 days ago; backed that up off his revised mark last Tuesday, despite pulling hard, but could maybe have done without the recent dry spell.

Won four times for David O'Meara last year (1m6f-2m) but has been out of form for new stable this season and is not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip; considered only if lively in the betting.

Four wins for David O'Meara last year (2m/1m6f), two on Tapeta, and she's on a competitive mark on her best form; the step back up in trip may help but she's not easy to fancy judged on this year's two runs.

Comparatively exposed, being 0-11; best handicap effort when second at Hamilton (1m1f) in May; chance of winning largely depends on how well he responds to new headgear/trip.
