Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven.

Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit.

Free-going mare whose latest game, dominating Fakenham success took her record to 3-5 in 2m contests there; 3lb rise doesn't look prohibitive, but a best RPR of 81 going right-handed versus 104 anticlockwise tempers greater confidence.

Free-going front-runner who won twice over C&D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high.
