Form & Verdict
Runner-up over C&D (good to soft) last month then suffered torrid passage at Pontefract before winning over this C&D (soft); had 3l to spare last time and clearly likes it here; a 6lb rise may not stop him.

Dual C&D winner last year, including this race, but form patchy since Pontefract win in July; return to turf and to a track with a stiff uphill finish should suit but all wins have been with give in the ground and may need rain.

Consistent filly who has only once finished out of the frame; won a Beverley maiden in May (7.5f, soft) and best run in handicaps when second at Catterick two runs ago (7f, soft); not so good at 1m last time; a possible but best form on soft ground.
