J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Ollie Sangster

Ex-Irish filly who made a winning stable debut at Wetherby in April (7f, good to firm); added another front-running success at Chester in June (7f, good) and her latest second at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) represented further improvement; no obvious reason why she wouldn't be in the thick of it again.

Form & Verdict
Started out for Michael Bell with 6f wins at Yarmouth and Doncaster; progress has stalled since then but he's back to a good mark and the return to 6f on fast ground should be in his favour.

Gained all four wins over 6f on good or faster ground; shaped as though worth another crack at 7f when keeping-on fifth over the stiff 6f at Pontefract (good; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago but others appeal more all the same; tongue-tie refitted.

Better strike-rate on AW but she has had a couple of near-misses on turf this summer; not much went right for her at Goodwood last time and she should fare better today.

C&D winner this time last year who bounced back to form off 6lb lower on the Rowley Mile five weeks ago; not been this high in the weights for a good while but having Jack Callan (second ride for the yard) take off 3lb will help and he's high on the shortlist.

This C&D brought out the best in him last season with two close seconds in August (both on good to firm); returned to form with close fourth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season and he could play a leading role back here.

Below par on AW last autumn on final two runs for Stuart Williams; however, he twice went close on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm) last August and he'll be bang there if rediscovering that form on his stable and seasonal debut, for which he wears a tongue-tie; remains in same ownership.

Yard having a quiet year thus far and this gelding is a deal higher (12lb) in the weights than when winning this in first-time cheekpieces 12 months ago; not in much form this season and has to prove this mark is within range on turf.

Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces.
