Off the mark at the seventh attempt (second for Dylan Cunha) when landing a 6f Lingfield nursery three weeks ago; 2lb rise not excessive but he was well positioned in that race and he'll need more to follow up.

Prominent racer; the winner of two of her last four starts, both over 6f on ground slower than good, and she ran creditably over 6f here ten days ago; she should be quick enough to cope with the drop to 5f and could take some pegging back against the stands' rail.
