Form & Verdict
Staged a major revival when back on Tapeta and winning at 18-1 in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Newcastle (5f) ten days ago; needs to back that up now reverting to turf but she showed promise on grass early in her career and has to be respected after last time.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner who scored over 5f at Ripon in June and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; however, his form has been patchy since that win and his claims aren't overly compelling.
