T: Brian Ellison

She's 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and when running well at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; she's 0-12 on turf and unproven at this trip, and she's been below par at favourite course Newcastle on her last two starts (1m).

Lightly raced maiden who showed ability in his four starts last year, including on the AW; returns from 164 days off having been gelded and is well worth monitoring in the market.

1lb higher than for the latest of two wins over 6f on turf/Polytrack this time last year; made an encouraging return from 162 days off when third of eight (How Impressive second) over C&D this month (has won fresh); drawn wide but still shortlisted if building on that.
