Gained a belated first turf success (18th attempt) when getting up on the line at Musselburgh (5f, good) 15 days ago; his record doesn't make him an obvious one to follow up but he should remain competitive off 4lb higher.

3-12 on AW compared to 0-17 on turf but last week's second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) suggests he can pick up a win on the grass off this sort of mark; has to enter calculations, although any easing of the ground possibly not ideal.

All three wins have been on the AW at Wolverhampton over 5f but he caught the eye finishing strongly for fourth at Thirsk (5f, good; Irish Dancer was second) nine days ago; possibly an unfortunate loser on that occasion having been hampered against the rail and and could make amends.

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Looks best on the AW and bids for a hat-trick from a 3lb higher mark after wins at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in August and over this C&D three weeks ago (beating Invincible Crown by a neck); no reason why she shouldn't go well again; stable also runs Haziym.
