Half-brother to seven winners; took a keen hold when a well-held sixth of eight on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm; 12-1) in June; blinkers given a go on this return from three months off and he needs to step up.

J: Ryan Moore

T: James Horton

Won a maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his second run as a 2yo; creditable efforts in Listed/Group 3 events afterwards (5f-7f); only had to match that form to win a 6f conditions event at Wolverhampton on his return in April and he was put in his place in Listed race at Newbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked but this looks a tough mark and the return to 5f isn't enough to tempt.

Won in newly applied headgear at Lingfield (7f AW maiden; 7-4) last September; two respectable efforts this year since a gelding operation, close third to Mayaada at Salisbury (1m2f, good) latest; Arron D'Arcy retains the mount; chance.

Eight-race maiden; second in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) on seasonal debut in April and put two lesser efforts behind him when sixth there (8.6f) last month but needs to find something extra over this new trip; wore blinkers or cheekpieces for last five races but goes without headgear today.

Clear second to a well-treated winner on comeback here in April but nowhere near meeting market expectations in three other handicaps; this race is easier, though, for a yard that ended a dry run with two jump winners last Friday.

Seven defeats include four handicaps and she was well held when twice placed; still commands some respect in this modest handicap given she's shown ability and has dropped to a career-low mark.
