Form & Verdict
Ran away with an apprentice handicap over C&D last week, coming from off the pace and storming clear in the closing stages; unpenalised for that and 6lb well in but no guarantee he'll be in the same form a second time.

Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Anticipated the start and subsequently missed the break here last week so that isn't the run to judge him on; had been in fine form beforehand and dangerous if he can get to the front this time.
