Returned from a 207-day absence (gelded) to win a 6f maiden at Chelmsford in good style 18 days ago; that effort backed up by the Topspeed figure and he's a leading contender despite the penalty.

Dual AW winner is 0-5 on turf for current trainer this year, not beaten too far on penultimate; handicapper giving him every chance and new headgear combination tried.

Dual AW winner; dangerously well-handicapped on best form for Marco Botti; signs of revival last two starts; ran better than the bare result on latest when drawn on the wrong side at Naas; eased another 3lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus; go well.

Both wins on AW; turf form includes a listed second at York (5f, good) when 1.5l behind Big Evs; both starts for current yard on soft ground; showed a bit more last time and the return to better ground here is a big plus; drops in grade and handicapper giving him a chance; interesting.

Improved from his debut effort at Lingfield in June when second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) later in month; that form nothing special though and a 143-day absence tempers enthusiasm.

Often placed before getting off the mark in a C&D novice in January; two 6f handicap runs since returning from a three-month break have been underwhelming; back up in trip and down in class so there could be a bigger effort forthcoming.

Form & Verdict
Beaten six times already but she's shown promise, running right up to her best when third of eight in a Newcastle nursery three weeks ago (5f; RPR 72); 6f should be fine at this track and set to run well but could prove vulnerable to something more progressive.

Doesn't have a great record fresh so this month's Windsor reappearance isn't hard to forgive; won easily from 2lb lower over C&D (good) last August having made all, but similar tactics won't be easy in this field, especially from the widest stall.
