Just one win from his 29 starts but he's twice finished runner-up over C&D this summer (good to firm/good to soft), most recently last Saturday, and there's every chance he'll again be in the mix.

0-9 on turf and slow ground would be a worry; however, this two-time AW winner ran some fair races on grass this spring and has dropped down the weights; might not be far away.

Beaten on her last 14 starts but has often run well in that spell, including when third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) a fortnight ago; also effective on turf (unproven on slow ground); could be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Some fair efforts this season, most recently 3l sixth of 14 at Beverley (5f, soft) on Tuesday in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, she needs a bigger run if she's to add to her sole win (from 30 attempts).

Had excuses for her Hamilton performance 11 days ago (anticipated the start and hit the gate) having previously made a promising reappearance when third of nine over this C&D (good to firm); 1lb below her last winning mark and very much of interest back in a 0-55.
