Already a four-time 7f/1m winner in 2024 and he didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Carlisle (7f) 19 days ago, when set too much to do; it would come as no surprise to see him on the premises once more.

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number.

Has done most racing over 6f and has been tried over 1m a few times, so the question is whether she'll have the raw speed for this trip; she's been in good form here of late, though, and getting off the mark last time (2lb lower) won't have hurt confidence.
