Well suited by this C&D but seems to have lost her way since last summer's turf win and was particularly disappointing on her latest outing 16 days ago; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers.

All four wins, including three at Wolverhampton, have come at around 1m2f; this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina, but he drops to this level for the first time so is well worth a second look.

Five-race maiden who should do better still (well bred and in excellent hands); couple of similar efforts this year (fourth both times); may take a step forward on return from five-month break; interesting, particularly if the market speaks favourably.
