In fine form since joining Robert Cowell and made it win number three for the stable at Sandown (5f, good) in August; good second at Bath (5f, good to firm) since; ran well on soft ground last July on the last occasion he tackled slow turf; entitled to respect.

On the up since joining Robert Cowell this summer and comfortably gained a third victory for the yard in nine-runner handicap at Sandown (5f) last month by 3/4l from Maharajas Express; up 5lb but that form has been really well advertised, so he is seriously considered.

All her three victories have come on the AW but she wasn't disgraced when third of eight in 1m Redcar handicap last month; effective at this much shorter trip so can't be discounted.

All four wins have been on Tapeta including three at Newcastle (5f-7f); her last success was in July and she's run creditably here (5f) in both subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and she has possibilities on this step back up in trip.
