Brighton winner for Andrew Balding (1m, good to firm) last summer, but well beaten in both starts for this yard and has shown little in three goes on the AW; plenty to prove after six months off.

Progressive for Andrew Balding this summer, getting off the mark in a 1m handicap at Brighton in June; dropped away on stable debut at Sandown six weeks ago (1m, soft) and she will need to leave that effort well behind.

Dual winner, latterly in a 6f York nursery (good to firm); unlikely that the late rain helped him back there on Sunday but he's well down this pack on the figures.

Modest in his first five starts but the application of cheekpieces seems to have helped, winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) before following up at Kempton (1m, AW) 24 days ago; up 6lb and has to be respected in his bid for the hat-trick.
