Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Useful 3yo who's come back to form since dropped to 5f on turf, minus the blinkers, following up his Lingfield win off 3lb lower with a solid effort at Newbury; needs considering but wants a proper test at this trip and a bigger field would have helped.

Three-time Polytrack winner who has plenty of toe and does a lot of her racing over 5f, as when turning in her best turf effort to date last time (not saying much); may be vulnerable late but should be able to grab the stand rail in front if that's the plan.
