Thrice-raced gelding who failed to get home over 1m1f most recently; bred to do better still, being out of a multiple winner for his connections, and looks interesting back down in trip on handicap debut.

Ties in with Buttercross Flyer on Ayr running (nursery debut) and pedigree suggests she should build on that effort, being half-sister to a dual winner for this stable; possibilities off 4lb lower.

Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.

Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring.

Thrice-raced filly who seemed suited by the step up to 1m at Yamouth (good to soft; finished third) most recently, picking up her first piece of prize-money; could go well if that effort is backed up.
