Form & Verdict
1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

One turf win from 15 attempts, in a four-runner race at Chepstow (5f) last July; two fair C&D runs since returned to turf in May and was out on a limb when finishing sixth to Another Abbot and Sudden Flight 14 days ago; however, he'll do well to win at this level off his current mark.

Impressive over C&D (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in April; second at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in August and has probably been running better than it looks in three starts this month, latterly when not staying 6f ten days ago; might surprise a few.

Prolific winner but never off a mark this high (Bath victory in early summer came off 5lb lower) and she's not still improving at her age; an easy 6f or stiffer 5f is optimal and she'll need to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts.

Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out.

In good form over the summer and she landed a fast-ground hat-trick when winning here (5.5f) at the start of August; went in again over that C&D (firm) a fortnight later and two respectable efforts (soft/heavy) subsequently; forecast quicker conditions bring her right back into the picture.

Largely progressive this year and he followed wins at Windsor (good) in July and Newbury (good to firm; Aces Wild second) in August with a career-best third in blanket finish at Doncaster (also 5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) 16 days ago; no reason to think his improvement has plateaued.
