All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return.

Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (firm) two weeks ago and she followed up with an emphatic win from off the pace at Salisbury (5f, good to firm); was as good as ever with that success and she's 3lb well in under penalty this time; strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but he won at Wetherby (5.5f) in June and got back on track with a near-miss at Beverley (5f) 11 days ago; due to be 2lb higher in future and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form; last run was on soft but his wins have been on good/good to firm.

1-1 at Windsor, thanks to a 6f handicap in 2024, and also scored at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last June; overall strike-rate is 2-29 but usually thereabouts and each-way claims on this first start since leaving Ruth Carr.

Showed signs of a revival with her late headway over C&D in May and she was only beaten around 2l again at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights but she needs to find some extra spark in this competitive race.
