Headgear has helped, with him making all in a small field at Windsor off 6lb lower before going hard enough in front at a short price last time; shouldn't mind tonight's drop back in trip.

Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut.

Justified favouritism in a similar race against her own sex last time and there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise; in-form yard boasts a solid strike-rate here and she has to enter calculations.

He didn't have to improve to get off the mark in a small-field novice at Doncaster in June (1m2f, good; cheekpieces for the first time); below that level at Pontefract last month but there is still time for him to deliver an improved showing.

Maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps, including when a beaten favourite over C&D in May; unlucky not to finish closer here last time (first-time cheekpieces; removed tonight) but is rather exposed.

Has modest 2-34 career strike-rate and needs to rebound from a poor run here in December but her C&D second two starts ago was a good effort and she has obvious claims if judged on that performance.

AW winner last September and in March (1m2f); a straggler over hurdles, hence the rock-bottom mark (and 4lb wrong today) but she's willing on the Flat and she might well fare much better now handicapping.
