Form & Verdict
Unexposed after only six starts and made encouraging stable debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in June, staying on for third in race not really run to suit; struggled on rain-softened ground at Beverley last month, though, and her chance may depend on the weather here.

Well beaten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (AW) in May but 3-3 on turf since, the latest win gained at Doncaster (1m, good) three weeks ago; ground slower than good would be new to him but it's hard to tell when his improvement will level off; likely to be ridden very patiently.

Nothing in his first four starts on AW, but won his first three starts over 1m on turf this summer; only fourth of 12 off this mark in his bid for the four-timer at Newmarket (1m, good) 16 days ago (fifth has won since), but too early to suggest the handicapper has his measure albeit he has to prove himself back on the AW.

Made all over C&D (good) in June and last month's fifth of 12 at Ascot (1m, good) was perfectly respectable, but current mark probably demands a career-best and ground slower than good would be new to him.

Doubled his tally when battling on well to lead close home at Sandown (1m, good) nine days ago; effectively only 4lb higher under 5lb penalty here (due to go up to today's mark anyway) but will have something to prove if the ground is slower than good.
