Two-time Flat winner, most recently at Southwell (AW, 1m3f) in April; made a modest start over hurdles when a distant third of five at Hexham (2m; turf debut) just over two weeks ago, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; could improve on that returned to a quicker surface.

Sole turf win was in Jersey this May, preceding a Lingfield AW win in June; tailed off at Newcastle eight days later, which she needs to bounce back from, but the string of seconds (three on good to firm) at this time last year makes this look a good mark.

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.
