Form & Verdict
Inconsistent this season and was gelded in the summer; won't mind the return to sprinting, having run exclusively over 7f this year, and is on a competitive mark now, so is one to consider down in class in a first-time tongue-tie.

Benefited immediately for the fitting of a tongue-tie when winning in good style over C&D at the start of the month, but wasn't helped by the flatter track and a slipped saddle when fifth of ten at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) nine days later; could go well back here.

Behind Blue Force over 5f here last month before finishing ahead of him at Beverley a week ago; may be that he's happier on turf and he'll need to settle better than in one previous start over C&D.

Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running.

Form & Verdict
Happier on Tapeta than turf from limited evidence, with him said to have hung left when down the field at Beverley last week; is better judged on his previous 5f win off 3lb lower here, which gives him claims.

Not much luck with one thing and another since handicapping, hitting traffic and being rather drawn away from the action back down to 5f here last time (first-time cheekpieces; retained); goes on the shortlist.

Comfortably held in three 5f runs early in the year, two of them here; starts handicap life off a lowly mark and the extra furlong should suit, so she's worth tracking in the market back from seven months off.
