Hasn't fully sustained a good start to the campaign but proved resurgent on AW debut last time; has possibilities on classified debut, provided he builds on that effort; C&D winner.

Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him.

Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected.

Nine-race maiden who is bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and was a keeping-on second at Chelmsford (1m6f) 11 days ago; only 1lb higher and he's not ruled out on this step up to 2m.

Nothing special about her latest AW run but she had hinted at ability when fifth of six at Newmarket (1m4f, good) previously and it will be disappointing if this well-connected filly can't do better now handicapping; in-form yard 36% (19-53) here in the last five years.
