2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right.

Hard to predict and a 6f win at Chelmsford in August was followed by a poor run over 7f here 11 days later; needs to bounce back but perhaps the return to this distance will help.

Had been struggling over 7f but he came from behind to win over 6f at Chelmsford (narrowly off 3lb lower) and could build on that; this trip is the query.

Both wins have come in four-runner events, the latest a Wolverhampton nursery (5f, Tapeta) early last month; fair fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) three weeks later (just over 2l behind Facoulty), but the return to a stiff track may not be ideal.

Only 2lb higher than when landing 5f Wolverhampton nursery three weeks ago but that small-field race did rather fall into her lap after the leaders went too fast; things aren't sure to work out as favourably this time.

Has kept busy but she hasn't been at her best in either of her two handicap starts since winning a 5f Musselburgh maiden in July (beat three rivals); needs to fare much better for the switch to AW.

Kept on for fourth in 5f AW novice races on first two outings, having lacked the pace to make a challenge; might be of greater interest when upped a furlong.

Placed in maidens at Ayr (5f, good) and Haydock (6f, soft); has thrown in some lesser efforts either side of those, not least when finishing one place ahead of the reopposing Elladora Black in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good to soft) latest; would be a player if she can bounce back.

Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement.

Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again.

Not without some ability in three starts over 5f/6f on turf earlier in year, but didn't build on it on nursery/AW debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) 15 days ago; the longer trip may help but still has plenty to prove.

0-9; in the frame in five of his seven starts this year including one over C&D; the stiff track appeared to find him out when dropped to this level at Leicester (5f, good to firm) a week ago, but he may fare better returned here.
