Ran two good races on AW last year; best form this year when fourth at Redcar last week (5f, good to firm; visor first time); has a bit to find with runner-up Auntie Jo on that run, but her stable is in fine form at present.

Won at Carlisle (7f, good) last year for Stella Barclay and it was another August win when taking Beverley handicap (7.5f, good to firm) for this yard two months ago; went close at Leicester (7f) on his penultimate start but finished well adrift of Moostar back over that C&D ten days ago, which tempers confidence.

Had been expensive to follow but returned to AW to finally break his duck in a 14-runner C&D handicap last month, beating next-time-out winner Donald (due to run in first division at 7:00); this 4yo could still be fairly treated off 3lb higher.

Unexposed 3yo who returned from 190 days off to win a Doncaster handicap six weeks ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb rise is not excessive and the best could still be to come from him.

Gave it away at the stalls last time having shown a bit of promise on her handicap debut previously; lightly raced for a yard among the winners and should be suited by the extra furlong, so there are positives.
