Consistent since cheekpieces were fitted, winning over 1m6f here in September and a creditable fourth over the same C&D next time; unlikely to be far away if staying this longer trip.

Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today.

Reasonably consistent mare who is a four-time AW scorer; clear second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) most recently; stays 2m; may remain competitive back up just 2lb.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Still seeking a first career win (0-9) and wasn't in much form when last seen at Beverley; however, he has since had ten weeks off and his mark is tumbling; switching back to the AW (three best efforts; 1m4f-2m2f) should suit and Billy Loughnane is a positive jockey booking; risky but tempting.

J: Joanna Mason

Scored in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford (1m6f) last November but he been beaten upwards of 23l in all four starts since; now 1lb below his winning mark but he needs a refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie combination to spark a major turnaround back on turf.

Just one win (in a bumper) but she ran her best race on the Flat when third of 12 at Southwell (1m6f) four weeks ago; that was her first outing for four months and she may come on for the run; more persuasive than most.

Regularly makes the frame but has found winning impossible; stays 2m, does most of her racing on the AW, and last Saturday's fifth at Wolverhampton was perfectly respectable; in the mix but others appeal more for the win.
