3yo who completed a double when landing a Class 4 handicap over C&D last month; well held in two quick-fire runs at Glorious Goodwood but he's back in calmer waters now and is a player if he can get back near best; acts on good to firm and good to soft.

Won five of 15 races, including this month at Thirsk and Newmarket (both 1m4f on good to firm); Wednesday's 1m4f handicap here was a much sterner test of his credentials and he came up well short at 28-1, so others are again preferred.

Signed off 2yo season with 6f win on Newcastle AW; thereabouts in all three 6f races this year and there's little between her and Mr Cool on recent C&D form; however, she was struggling to keep up from some way out before coming home strongly and this test may again be on the sharp side.

Didn't progress for Marco Botti but there were the odd flickers of ability; well beaten on stable debut 12 days ago but 1m was too much of a test, especially given how freely she raced early on; Oisin Orr 2-9 for the stable and she could have a bigger run in her back sprinting.
