J: John Fahy

Rattled off a fast-ground 6f hat-trick this summer but the wheels came off in her bid for a four-timer at Nottingham in August, finding little when asked for her effort; could resume her progress after nine weeks off but she'll need to.

Very progressive filly who has won her last three races (all 6f, good to firm; one over C&D); raised another 6lb since last time but likely to pose a potent threat from off the pace again.

Four-time turf winner from 5.5f-7f; 0-19 on AW but he's been placed on Polytrack and Tapeta; has had a short break since going very close at Windsor (6f, good) in September and he's a player if he can reproduce that form.

His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip.

Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot.
