Won over C&D (good to soft) last July and is now 2lb lower; not written off but she has something to prove having been well beaten at Newcastle in March on her sole outing this year.

These conditions suit and he is on a good mark but he's rather struggled this season, including with cheekpieces (on again) on last three starts; beaten 3l when third to Inanna over C&D last week; others preferred.

Prolific winner who arrives seeking a hat-trick after winning back-to-back at Hamilton (both 6f, soft) last month; usually races prominently; up another 4lb but will be a big player if repeating his latest effort.

J: Miss Serena Brotherton

In good form with successive second placings in the summer, and it was an agonising head defeat under Serena Brotherton at Yarmouth (6f; rider dropped stick) last month; yet to shine in six starts here but he's back on that Yarmouth mark and is fine at 5f.

He's won six times and has been runner-up in his last three contests, latest when jockey dropped her whip when in front inside the final furlong at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm); he may well gain compensation today.
