Form & Verdict
Rare flop at Chelmsford in March but he bounced back to win over 6f here (good to firm) last month and he followed up back here three weeks ago; stays 7f and still feasibly weighted so high on the list, for all that ground slower than good is a query.

Completed a Brighton hat-trick (6f/7f, good/good to firm) in the spring but has steadily regressed here since, always behind over 1m most recently; sizeable turnaround is required.

J: Jack Doughty

Won three successive 6f/7f handicaps here in the spring and subsequent defeats suggest he might be high in the weights; perhaps this step up to 1m can help, having finished second on his only previous run over this far well over a year ago.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Won three on the spin (6f-7f) here in the spring, all when Jack Doughty was still claiming 3lb, and went up 9lb in the weights; possible the handicapper has caught up now on the evidence of his latest C&D fourth a month ago and needs more.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have come over 7f at Chepstow and it was back under those conditions that she was a good second of eight last week; 2lb well in today and has C&D form; has to make the shortlist.

Two solid efforts in defeat round here, latterly when third to Time Patrol in May (5lb better off); drop to 6f against her next time, before she pulled too hard over a stiff 1m, and a win wouldn't surprise back in the cheekpieces.

Two AW wins (7f) for Charlie Fellowes early last year and she's now 7lb lower than for the second of them; little impact in four runs for new stable but latest Newmarket run was better and the return to 7f should help; could fare better this time.

Course winner at 1m; a good spell in the New Year included a 7f win on Wolverhampton AW and he was back on song when winning over 6f at Nottingham in June; soft ground perhaps not helpful on next two starts but he has a bit to prove on his first C&D run.

Got the better of Believe You Me over C&D last summer (soft) and she's 7lb better off with that rival today; returned to form with a bang when powering home to win at Wolverhampton last week (7f), proving suited by the generous pace; 2lb well in under her penalty and she's considered.
