Progressed well last season and as good as ever when going close at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; wasn't beaten a million miles into eighth at Glorious Goodwood (good) and could be competitive with Ashley Lewis taking off a handy 7lb.

Progressive during last year's 3yo campaign and better than ever when going close at Ascot (1m, good to firm) this month; she was behind an unexposed 3yo last time and could be in the mix now 3lb higher.

All three wins (from 12 starts) have been on the AW, on which she made a quiet reappearance back in late March; however, she was only pipped in this race 12 months ago (on good) and was again runner-up here after a break in September (soft); if rediscovering any of that form then she'd have a part to play.

Gained reward for his consistent efforts on the AW when beating 15 rivals in a Chelmsford novice (1m, Polytrack) in May; has run well on Tapeta including over C&D, but could only manage sixth of 12 back in a handicap at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last time; off ten weeks since and needs to bounce back.

Four wins for the Barrons, three of them over 7f on the Tapeta at Newcastle; 28-1 for his stable debut two weeks ago (first run after a 175-day break) and he weakened as though it was needed; likely to bounce back at some point.

J: Rossa Ryan

On a career-high mark but he won well from the front at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen and may remain competitive; dual scorer on turf and doesn't necessarily need to dominate.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 214, all over 1m on Polytrack, since handicapping; gelded since his creditable effort at Kempton last time; should give his running off same mark, assuming he's just as good on Tapeta.

1m win here in November off a 1lb lower mark; mixed record since returning from a 112-day break but not beaten far at Wolverhampton on penultimate start (8.6f; visored first time) and a subsequent Newmarket defeat excusable as he's yet to shine on turf; should be seen to better effect today.

Twice below market expectations since being gelded, once on his Tapeta debut and then when tailed off as favourite on good to soft seven weeks ago (first-time cheekpieces replaced by a visor tonight); has it to prove now.
