Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in April but below form all three runs since, fourth of six at Haydock (5f) 11 days ago; this course winner is handily weighted if back on his A-game though.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month and bounced back from lesser run at Newbury (6f, good) when sixth of ten at Thirsk (5f, good to firm), beaten just over 2l; back on slow ground today and could be in the mix.

Easily saw off 11 rivals at Musselburgh last month (5f, soft), form that has received some boosts since; not well drawn when down the field at Newbury two weeks ago (6f, good); mark left alone and perhaps vulnerable over 5f on a quick surface.

Form & Verdict
Kicked off with two good runs at Beverley and than contested the Albany which was predictably a struggle; however, her nursery debut at Haydock (6f) was thoroughly underwhelming and she now has to turn things around.

Not yet off the mark but she hasn't always had the rub of the green for this yard and her latest run might have been needed; has run well on Wolverhampton Tapeta but this is her first course run so she does have a slight surface query.

Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip.

She has made steady progress throughout her career, winning three times on AW, and she was unlucky not to register a first turf success when a close third over C&D last week; saw no daylight at a crucial stage on that occasion and the form has already been franked; good chance.
