Form & Verdict
1m2f Lingfield (Polytrack) winner and seems to reserve his best efforts for that venue; has proved very competitive there from similar marks twice from his last four starts; soft ground was a probable excuse at Leicester latest and he's likely to be in the shake-up if acting here.

Form & Verdict
Usually reliable in terms of running his race at this level and, after a rare occasion when that didn't happen at Brighton (1m4f, good) on his penultimate start, he bounced back with a comfortable C&D win latest; up 5lb for that but likely to be thereabouts again.

Still early days after just six starts, the last three in handicaps at up to 1m6f; a 2lb drop prior to her latest effort at Bath did not spark any improvement; she's down a further 2lb for her AW debut and she'll need to take a step up on previous efforts to prevail.
