Form & Verdict
C&D winner (good to soft) off 1lb higher last summer; also ran a fine race in a Class 2 event over C&D (good) in October when finishing strongly up the middle of the track; a most encouraging return to action at Wolverhampton 18 days ago when without usual headgear (back on today), dropped in from a bad draw but making up plenty of ground late on; lots to like.

Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish.

At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better.

Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick.

Form & Verdict
Not had many chances on soft ground but he was placed in the Group 3 Cornwallis on it as a 2yo; ran a stormer behind a rapid improver at Newcastle on seasonal return in February but the two runs since have been less persuasive, albeit a bit better than the tenth of 14 would suggest in a messy Newmarket sprint two weeks ago; back down in grade and he's considered.
