He had been consistent, rather than progressive, prior to a flop at Doncaster 17 days ago; this is uncompetitive but the drop back in distance isn't sure to be in his favour.

Sole win from nine starts came in a nursery at Brighton (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last September; clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month and it was another solid effort at Brighton (7f) three weeks ago; drops back in trip with claims.

Won a nursery over C&D (good to firm; first time cheekpieces) last September and was returning from 166 days off when a clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) on Saturday (taking her record under Ashley Lewis to 122); return to this trip should suit; respected.

Wolverhampton winner for Ashley Lewis last autumn off 3lb lower; runs in a sprint for the first time since handicapping and would want to see a bit of market strength back from almost six months off.

Moving up to 7f in new cheekpieces triggered an improved display at Chelmsford, going down by only 1.5l; chance if building on that.

Won back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (6f) midsummer, her mark taking a hit (raised a combined 10lb); bit below those levels the last twice, including when fifth of 12 at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft; 9-2) a fortnight ago; fine here though, and her low draw is a plus.

Off the mark when winning at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July and followed up with a narrow success at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) next time; didn't get home having raced freely at Windsor last month and the hood, worn when runner-up here over 7f in June, now returns.

Struggled at huge odds in his qualifying runs but was 9-4 favourite on nursery debut at Brighton (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and he didn't get much luck before finishing a close fourth of six; that was promising and he's a big player back up in trip.

Yet to win this season but went close here (7.3f, good) last month and was denied a clear run when fifth of 11 at Bath (1m, good) nine days ago; also ran well the only time she encountered soft ground (unraced on heavy); can make her presence felt.

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.
