Broadly inconsistent but his form at Doncaster features a success in last year's Leger Legends race and resurgent effort behind Bella Bisbee in latest start; better off with that rival and due to go back up 1lb in future.

15-race maiden who went very close over C&D just over a year ago; finished down the field in this race (also soft) nine days later but was back in some form from August following wind surgery; reappearance sixth in a blanket finish at Hamilton last month was a solid effort but slow starts have become a theme and she's 2lb 'wrong'.
