Won twice at two and had deep-ground form; quite an eyecatcher on his comeback in Haydock's Silver Bowl but failed to make an impression in the Britannia and a similar story behind Rhoscolyn at Goodwood (soft); now on a recovery mission.

Two wins in last season's 2yo campaign; reappeared with close third in the Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m) in May, a race that hasn't really worked out; ran okay when 11th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); versatile ground-wise; improvement is possible but necessary in this hot race.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Paul & Oliver Cole

Has handled good to firm and the mud; consistent last season until his heavy defeat in a Group 3; usually races prominently but had to be dropped in from a bad draw in the Silver Bowl at Haydock, so all things considered he did well to finish only a length off Teroomm; enters calculations with a talented claimer secured.

The form of her two wins is far superior to the form of her two defeats; had no trouble defying a penalty at Lingfield (6f, soft; first win on good to firm) and on her day she's clearly useful; doesn't look on too bad a mark.

Progressed during a light campaign last season and has taken it up another notch the last twice; this looks a deeper race than the Lingfield (turf) handicap in which he was narrowly beaten five weeks ago, though, and he'll need more again.

Hit hard by the handicapper after winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last May; ran well fresh when third at Kempton (1m, Class 4) in October but held in better quality races since, including at Newmarket 18 days ago; moves beyond a mile for the first time.
