Triple turf winner who bounced back with a creditable second behind an unexposed improver at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can repeat that latest form.

Generally progressive 3yo who held on narrowly at Nottingham (1m1f, good to firm) in July, his third win, and was second off today's mark at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) soon afterwards; big player if able to bounce back quickly from below-par run a fortnight ago.

Only fifth of six on last week's nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good) but never really had a clear shot at the leaders and, after keeping on well, was beaten under 2l; another sound effort when third of six here (6f) yesterday; will enter calculations if she contests this race.

Struggled on first two outings (6f/7f) but last month's seventh of nine in a good Lingfield maiden (7f, good) was more encouraging, and further progress is possible if she handles the slower ground on nursery debut.
