Soft-ground specialist but it was good ground he won on when snapping a two-year losing sequence at Musselburgh (5f) one month ago; was found to have bled from the nose that day and subsequently gelded; up 2lb but his 2yo form would make him a good thing off this mark should that signal a resurgence.

J: Oisin McSweeney

Useful 2yo; it has been a struggle more recently but he is dropping down the weights and appeals as the type to come good soon; that may coincide with him tackling slower ground though.

Two wins over 5f on soft/heavy as a juvenile, the second a Listed event at Chantilly; hasn't won since and only seventh of nine on reappearance, but on a fair mark; could go well though stall 1 a slight negative.

Winner at Newcastle last November, but disappointing since; blinkers now tried (well beaten in a visor last time); plenty to prove at present.

Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting.

C&D winner; campaigned over 6f+ since her 2yo days; better than ever this year but she looks to face a stiff task in this company; new visor replaces cheekpieces.

First-time cheekpieces and a reduced mark when coming good again at Ripon (6f, good) in May and she was close up in Bintaryana's race at York next time; the latter form in particular raises hopes but she was off her game last time at Pontefract.

Two wins at 5f, latest at Doncaster last June; disappointing recently; on a good mark so could go well with blinkers on for first time (fair run when visored first time) but stamina to prove.

Better signs for new stable when fourth with visor added at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in April but he finished tailed off at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and the headgear is now discarded.
