Had bits and pieces of form last year but this term has been a struggle and she was tailed off on AW (1m4f) 11 days ago; return to this trip might help but that's not a strong argument.

Has remained in form since breaking his duck at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, albeit he didn't find much back at 7f on Newcastle AW recently; likely to give his running but others may have more scope off their current marks.

Kept on nicely for 3l third of seven on the Lingfield Polytrack this month when upped to 1m2f, and today's longer trip is well worth a go; however, she's 0-7 and takes on some unexposed types; may again be vulnerable.
