Three-time C&D winner, most recently off much reduced mark on good to soft ground last month; bettered that performance when close/clear second here (1m, heavy) a fortnight ago and can't be ignored in current mood.

Seven-time course winner, five times on heavy ground; back in good form lately, winning at Chepstow before respectable sixth in higher-grade company at Chester (also 1m2f, good to soft); ought to be hard to beat in these conditions.

J: William Cox

Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Landed a gamble at Ayr (1m, good) in May, his seventh start for Bernard Llewellyn, and went very close at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) later that month; today's longer trip will also suit but he needs to get back on track after two below-par efforts.

Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps.

Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style.
