Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here.

Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear when clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; 6lb higher here and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but the return to turf won't be a problem.

Two wins last season, the latter gained by 10l here (1m6f, soft; also suited by much quicker ground) in October; not in same form on either outing since returned to the Flat in March (1m4f/2m; cheekpieces refitted last time) but still considered.

Five wins on good or slower; not fired in three runs back from a long absence but last time at Beverley was a bit more encouraging; interesting to see if there's any market confidence behind him.

Still to get his head in front but largely in good form until beating only one in 1m4f Brighton handicap 17 days ago; he can't be discounted.
