Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out.

Best efforts have come here and she appreciated the step back up from 7f, minus the usual tongue-tie, when winning over C&D a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-55 and she's 4lb higher today but she's lightly raced and may be capable of better.
