Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; reappearance in March wasn't too bad but she was last of seven 18 days ago, which she needs to leave way behind her.

Won four times over 1m-1m5f last year, three of them on the AW; may be better for last month's Southwell return, but she looks weighted up to her best.

T: Charlie Johnston

Won four times last year, including twice over this C&D; beaten a head here over 1m4f in August but she struggled on turf over 1m6f on her next two outings; drops back in trip on her first start since October and should appreciate the return to this surface.

Well held in first three starts but he has form figures of 1121 since switched to handicaps; up another 3lb after his odds-on win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last time but he knuckled down well to beat a clear second and is respected back on Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Both starts over 1m, winning at Newcastle then not disgraced at this venue; bred to be suited by this longer trip and remains open to progress; interesting, even off top weight.

Record of 0-5 since debut win (AW) and has failed to progress since handicapping; chance depends on how well he reacts to blinkers (replacing cheekpieces worn the last twice).

Won on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) last November and has produced fair performances in his three handicaps (1m2f-1m4f, AW/good/good to firm), most recently at Thirsk; however, needs something extra today.

Made a winning debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November but he's not really gone on from that and was only fourth of six on handicap debut at Beverley (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs improvement with headgear added at this new trip.
