Form & Verdict
Now 0-8 but does have some quite solid handicap form to his name this summer, particularly over this trip; weakened towards the finish when third of eight at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; firmly in the mix with the drop back to 7f a help if anything.

Form & Verdict
AW maiden winner who struck at the third time of asking in handicaps on turf when shading a close finish over C&D (good to firm) six weeks ago; only nudged up 1lb and it's possible she could have more to offer as a low-mileage 3yo; stable among the winners.

Back to winning ways with first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue-tie (combination retained) when quite comfortably seeing off 12 rivals over 7f at Newmarket (good) seven weeks ago; while consistency hasn't really been his strong suit so far a fair chunk of his 7lb rise is offset by Brandon Wilkie's claim and he'll go well again if in similar form.

Both wins came over 7f on good ground around this time last year; runner-up twice over C&D on good to firm this summer and has had excuses for her below-par runs since; her hold-up style (can miss the break) dictates that things need to drop right but she's more than capable off this mark if they do.
