Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace.

Remains a maiden after 17 starts but just five of those have been over hurdles and she ran well from the front on her handicap debut in this code when second over C&D (soft) in February; fair fifth of 19 at Down Royal (2m4f, good) since when inconvenienced by jumping to the left, and she could play a leading role now back at a left-handed track.

Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort.

Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort.
