T: John O’Shea

Won here (1m) and at Brighton (1m2f) last summer but his 1m second in refitted cheekpieces three starts ago was his only good performance from five appearances this year and today's drop back in trip is probably not ideal; can't be supported with much confidence.

Has patchy record but she won at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (good) last summer and had an excuse in the mud in her final run last term; returns after six months off but drying ground would be a positive and she needs watching in market.
