Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; consistently below market expectations of late and will want to settle better than over C&D last time, coming from stall 13 under a jockey taking just her third ride.

Seven-race maiden for two different yards; placed in 1m handicaps on Polytrack and Tapeta this year but his form nosedived at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two weeks ago and he has something to prove again after that; hood worn last time is removed.

Went close off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and was good third at Yarmouth next time, but his form has cooled in last two starts; has bit to prove again and he's now 0-11; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces.

0-10 but he's been generally consistent since joining this yard in January; behind Paragon when fourth of 13 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last week and needs a bit more in the added cheekpieces (has tried blinkers and hood) to turn those placings around.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning handicap debut over 7f here in September; disappointing at Brighton next time but she bounced back with a good third from off the pace here in her final run last season; headgear is now added at this new trip but she still has potential and is a half-sister to a 1m winner; needs a close look on return.

Record of 0-8 but she went close in a Thirsk nursery (6f, good to soft) in September and ended last season with an eyecatching third at this track (7f); did best of the closers in that race and she looks interesting upped to 1m on return; stablemate of Bantz.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 3132 over 7f here this year and that latest run was a clear second behind an improver 25 days ago; faded in previous attempt at 1m but he looks worth another try at this trip and is respected off only 1lb higher than last time.
