Lightly raced 4yo who is 0-7 but looked unlucky not to win when beaten a neck at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June on her return from a year off; off another two months since and now 2lb higher, but still one for the shortlist.

His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f.

Not yet off the mark but she's had two close calls on the AW this year, notably when only just failing to get up at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, against one on the fifth leg of a seven-timer; acts on turf, too, and may well figure back from short break.
