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.

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).

Slow start for this stable but having dropped in the weights he's been back in the groove since June, winning twice at Musselburgh (5f, good) and narrowly beaten at Ripon and Musselburgh the last twice; sneaking up the handicap but current wellbeing counts for plenty.

Two wins and a second from his three runs at Musselburgh, all 5f on good or good to firm this summer and the latest was a win on penultimate start; beaten a neck at Ripon latest, again under Tom Kiely-Marshall, so he's in the form of his life and looks all set for another bold show.

Two-time course winner who made all at Hamilton (5f, good) in May but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs; may have done too much too soon over C&D last time but he seems most potent at 5f and others are preferred.
