J: Sam Hitchcott

Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood.

Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though.
