J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

No problem with conditions and he followed a close second over C&D by winning an amateur rider handicap at Catterick (5f, good) by daylight last week; 5lb higher today but he is likely to go up more than that when reassessed; key player from stall 1.

C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career.

Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years.

Form & Verdict
Back to winning ways when seeing off six rivals in a Class 5 at Thirsk two weeks ago (5f, good to soft); better form when picked off late at Musselburgh last week (5f, good); has run well over C&D in the past and she's a solid contender in her current form.

More than enough ability to feature off this mark but she is the type that needs absolutely everything to fall right, including luck in running and not hitting the front too soon; new cheekpieces could give her a lift and she shouldn't be far away again.

Form & Verdict
Comes here after two near misses at Newmarket's July course (both 5f on good to firm); edging back up the weights as a consequence and his style of racing means he is always a hostage to fortune.

Promising 2yo, including a soft-ground Redcar win (6f); absent for 713 days prior to finishing tailed off in a 7f handicap at Redcar in April; that was his only run for Geoff Oldroyd and he's now back with his original trainer (and running in his colours) so presumably not felt to be a busted flush; risky but could yet bounce back.
