All eight wins have been on good ground or slower, the most recent coming when making all over C&D (good) in June; now 6lb higher having been off since but he ran well off this mark at Bath last October.

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted.

9st 9lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: John Gallagher

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 3yo; unraced on softer than good; close third at Windsor (6f) most recently; sole start under Alfie Redman resulted in account-opening win at Bath (5f; stable debut) in August; interesting with that rider back on board.

C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will.

10yo who has had a regressive campaign but he was a good third off this career-low mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) recently; he's effective here and could be involved.

Both AW wins have been over C&D; not the force of old but has dropped to a career-low mark; doesn't win very often nowadays though and is passed over.

J: George Downing

Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C&D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir.
