Dual C&D winner who was never dangerous here 12 days ago, but she wasn't beaten far against a pace bias in that Class 4 event; now drops back in grade and has possibilities if she gets a good tow into this race.

Not at her best in a Class 3 at Windsor last month but that was 6f and this drop back in trip should help; wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off this mark though.

0-17 on turf as opposed to 7-26 on AW and unplaced on grass on his two starts this summer; however, he gave it a good go from the front at Chester (5f, good) last time when he used up lots of energy early from his wide draw, and he could be a serious force from the inside berth today.
