She has struggled to recapture her 3yo best this term, latterly beaten 7l in a 1m2f Sandown handicap she won readily last year; today's drop back in trip and new cheekpieces could help, however, and this is probably her easiest task for a while; can't be ruled out from a dangerous mark.

Confirmed the promise of his Carlisle debut (6f) when winning a 7f maiden here in July; down the field in a sales race at the Ebor meeting since; stamina not assured but there is encouragement for it on breeding and the course win does look solid form in the context of this race; big player despite the penalty.
