Running consistently well on turf since returning for this yard in May (233142), her win coming by a short head at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in June; stays this far and no reason why she can't go well again.

Hat-trick in 2023 included a win over C&D, but losing run now up to 16 and he could probably do with the ground easing.

Two wins over C&D but his mark suffered after a comfortable win at Sandown (1m, good) around a year ago; handicapper's releasing his grip and last time's fifth at Ffos Las was a step in the right direction, however; might go well.

Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so.

Form & Verdict
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip.

Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.

Form & Verdict
Ended a 14-race losing run in emphatic style at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago, appearing to benefit from a drop in trip; still feasibly treated after a 5lb rise and respected if coping with dropping another furlong.

Four wins in Britain, best on AW; reached a peak rating of 85 after two Kempton wins last year; not at his best in recent months; however, he is race-fit and the bar is set low for his hurdles debut; interesting.
