Acts on heavy; has stamina on the dam's side and again shaped as though this sort of trip would suit when among the favourites for a deeper 1m2f handicap at York last time; goes on the shortlist, down 2lb.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims.

Form & Verdict
Just a single decent effort from four hurdle races for this yard since picked up from Joseph O'Brien this time last year; maybe this longest Flat trip to date will help but she finished tailed off on Flat at a huge price three weeks ago when back from a break.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 78

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish gelding who's won three over 1m2f this season and gone a stone up the weights; an easy 1m4f should be fine but he's lost his way under both codes of late and will need a career-best effort.
