T: Helen Nelmes

Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who had shown little over hurdles until stepped up in trip when a near 6l third behind Saucats over C&D ten days ago; meets that rival on 4lb better terms and enters calculations if building on that performance.

Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f); has offered little in three runs over hurdles for this stable but may fare better now switched to handicaps with a tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
It took him 29 starts to finally win a race but, having won comfortably at Brighton last month (1m2f, good to soft), he followed up over the same C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); another 7lb higher today but he's thriving and can't be taken on lightly.

Yet to fire this year and has a bit to find with Bohemian Breeze on their meeting here three weeks ago, but he is 12lb lower than when completing a hat-trick around this time last year (first two legs came over C&D); worth a second look.

Landed a hat-trick around this time last year, two of the wins coming over C&D including this race off 4lb higher; needs to improve plenty on recent efforts if he is to exploit this mark, though.

4 yo Filly

OR: 57

Form & Verdict
Won just one of her 15 starts for Richard Fahey, an 8.6f handicap at Wolverhampton in November 2023; shaped okay on her stable/seasonal debut and could be sharper with that behind her; best turf form on good or slower.

Overcame a wide trip when narrowly winning here over 9.5f in April and posted another good effort when third of 11 here last month; has since left Kevin and Lauren Frost and steps back up in trip, which is a concern, on her stable debut.

Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.
