Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling.

Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms.

Ridden positively for two 6f Newcastle wins and found the race not panning out to suit under a more patient ride upped to 7.2f here a month ago; back on her last successful mark and should fare better.

Both wins have come over 6f on Newcastle's AW; not in the same form on turf since; steps up in trip back on AW and cannot be discounted.

Doubled her tally with 6f handicap success at Newcastle in may and backed it up with a solid fourth of 11 at Chester (6f) three weeks ago; she's less exposed than most of these and in the mix.

Won at Newcastle (6f, AW) last October and went close here over 6f on her reappearance; has posted some good efforts since, including when keeping on for third at Ayr (6f) last month, and looks worth another try over 7f.

Signed off 2yo season with 6f win on Newcastle AW; thereabouts in all three 6f races this year and there's little between her and Mr Cool on recent C&D form; however, she was struggling to keep up from some way out before coming home strongly and this test may again be on the sharp side.
