His only win came in a C&D novice on slow ground last May; has dropped to a lowly mark but his two runs for Luke Dace haven't suggested he's ready to exploit it.

A fair 6f scorer for Luke Dace in 2024; off ten months but shaped well for his new stable with fourth of 12 in C&D handicap 16 days ago; not without interest off a reduced mark.

Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months.

Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up.

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Prolific winner but never off a mark this high (Bath victory in early summer came off 5lb lower) and she's not still improving at her age; an easy 6f or stiffer 5f is optimal and she'll need to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts.

Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out.
