Has failed to back up the form of her spring success kept to turf since; needs to stage a revival and is 0-7 on AW but record of 342 at Chelmsford augurs well.

Scores low marks for consistency but he has a couple of runs, including C&D, which bring him right into the reckoning; dropping in the weights and a new visor offers hope of an improved showing.

14-race maiden (12 for Ismail Mohammed) who's finished second over 5f on a variety of ground in three of his last six starts; latest was one of those, albeit in six-runner race at Musselburgh when well below his best form; needs a bit extra and promising 5lb claimer takes over.

Best efforts have come under aggressive rides over 5f on Polytrack; achieved little in three runs on turf, including in blinkers last time, and reverts to the usual cheekpieces today (first-time tongue-tie added); bit to find at the weights.

Patchy form across final few runs for Brian Ellison last season and well beaten on recent stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk (6f, good); however, he's 5lb lower than when winning at Doncaster (5f, good to form) last June and is not a forlorn hope back at 5f in a first-time visor.
