Off the mark in Carlisle handicap (1m, good to firm) last month, then ran well behind higher-rated rival in seller here (1m1f, good to soft) eight days ago; in-form contender who has solid claims.

T: Tristan Davidson

Still seeking his first win (0-20) but has been placed in three of his last four starts, including when a beaten favourite - third to today's rival Chinese Spirit - at Musselburgh (1m) last week; previous Carlisle form figures read 23, and he'll surely strike eventually; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Sole win came in Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, good to soft) two years ago for previous yard; 0-8 for current stable but some of the form is encouraging; possibilities on these terms, receiving 10lb from all her rivals.

Form & Verdict
Not in top form in two starts for new yard but the return of Archie Young is a possible plus; readily won a Lingfield selling handicap (final run for Charlie Johnston) on last attempt under this apprentice rider.

Form & Verdict
Modest performer whose strike-rate is just 2-34; won at Brighton in May then proved fairly consistent until July; form dipped the last twice and has the worst chance at the weights in this field.

Often leads, as when winning over C&D (good to soft) in July and at Brighton (1m2f, good) this month; gave up the ghost back at 1m on the latter track last week, though, and up against it from 4lb wrong.

Brighton regular who has only been out of the first two in two of his 11 starts here; gained his second course success (1m2f, good) 11 days ago when making all; his record means that he holds claims once more.
