Perhaps hasn't quite lived up to the promise of an AW win and a good turf run (1m2f, good to soft) in the spring but he's been running well in defeat and was caught out only by a well-treated one over C&D (good; tongue-tied added) last week; solid chance.

Sole win over an extended 1m1f on the AW in February but he stays much further and wasn't beaten by a lack of stamina when third at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers, retained) last week; acts on good to soft and major claims down in grade.

Form & Verdict
All four runs at 1m3f/1m4f on AW last July-September, showing significant ability but that was good enough for only fourth of eight on handicap debut last time; has left Harry Eustace (same owners); apparently needs improvement but this is seemingly not a strong field.

Lightly raced 5yo who won at Salisbury (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m6f, both on good to firm) last summer, but she reappeared with a laboured effort at Ascot (1m2f) in May; has bit to prove after another break and she seems more potent at longer trips.

Lightly raced 4yo who won on yard debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and close third at Chester (12.2f, good) next time; good to soft ground may not have been ideal when soundly beaten third here (1m4f) latest, and this trip may be within range, but she has to be better than ever today.

Form & Verdict
Wore blinkers last August/September on last three starts, winning here (1m2f, good to firm) on first occasion but two backward steps since and the headgear is now dispensed with; his three attempts at 1m4f/1m5f (latest on penultimate start) suggested stamina frailties.

Smooth success at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on her reappearance in April; four solid efforts have followed, most recently a close second at Windsor 18 days ago when she was only picked off late; should remain competitive off an unchanged mark.
