Respectable form over C&D in the autumn and much lower in the weights now, but she hasn't been at her best since winning on Polytrack (1m) in February and may just have gone off the boil for now.

None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look.

Mostly consistent at 1m and 7f on the AW over the winter and he could be happier back on turf, having got off the mark over C&D (good to firm) last July; hadn't been far away in a previous run here and refitting headgear could be a plus (his win came in refitted cheekpieces).
