Three wins, over 7f on AW and 6f (good to soft), but her level has dropped since the latter success at Carlisle in May and others are higher up the list.

Form & Verdict
Largely consistent gelding who rebounded quickly from a poor run with close second in first-time visor at Wolverhampton (7f) ten days ago; back in action before a 3lb rise takes effect and won his only previous race at Newcastle (albeit over 1m); obvious contender.

C&D win off this mark in March; knocking at the door on most recent AW appearances and latest down-the-field run in the Leger Legends event at Doncaster is easy to excuse as he saw no daylight; another to consider.

Came good at eighth attempt, with clearcut C&D win on Friday; still unexposed on AW surfaces and evidently in very good nick but has 6lb penalty to carry in a stronger race tonight (only due a 4lb rise).

A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface.

Best form was the two runs in Ireland late last year; 0-5 for current yard and only fifth of seven in a 1m handicap before running poorly last week in a 7f novice (tried cheekpieces); effective at 6f but others are safer.

Not seen to best effect on soft ground last time and now 0-10 but her close third at Thirsk (7f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and this return to Tapeta won't be a problem; contender if first-time blinkers have any positive effect.
