2-2 over C&D after winning on soft ground off a 3lb lower mark last month; things didn't pan out his way on Polytrack last time, an effort that confirmed him still in good form, though, and he's on the shortlist.

Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction.

His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip.

Easy 6f on this ground ideal (didn't see it out round Pontefract on soft/heavy last time) and the handicapper's giving her every chance, as she's 6lb lower than when winning in April; should go well for a yard also responsible for Happier.

Has done a lot of her racing over 7f and the impact of the blinkers, worn for the first time when winning at Carlisle off 4lb lower last month, seems to have worn off; behind Happier last time and stall 12 isn't ideal for one happiest on the sharp end.

Sole win came in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft, 18-1) last September and she finished runner-up on her only other visit to Carlisle (7f maiden); not many positives to take from her last four starts, but she probably needed it at Ayr (6f, good; 33-1) off a six-month break.
