Form & Verdict
Nine-race maiden who has sparked only once (December) in her last five outings; 22-1 when tailed off on return to turf at Newmarket (1m, good) six weeks ago, after 12 weeks off; return to AW handicap offers her more of a chance but others look a bit more solid.

Form & Verdict
Led close home to make winning seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but has not quite been in the same form since (four runs); tried a visor on latest start and it's retained; last three runs were over 1m and the return to 7f may give more hope.

Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again.

Closest finish in nine races was last time when third of seven at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces; return to 7f might help after four runs over about 1m and he continues to edge down the weights.

Signs of ability last year and he built on that when third of eight on handicap debut at Catterick (6f, good) 16 days ago; slowly away that day, having blown the start the time before; moves up from 6f for the first time (also AW debut) and may have started to get his act together.

A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface.
