6lb lower than when winning a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton (for Jack Jones) in February; 25-1 when no match for Yaahobby over C&D last week; due to be 3lb lower from the weekend.

Can't fancy on her three turf efforts since joining current stable but the fact she's gained all three wins on AW provides some hope back from two months off.

Conditions to suit and he lurks on a dangerous mark; he has been threatening of late and was a close second over C&D last night; can make another bold bid.

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.

Two 6f wins on good ground in June and ran pretty well last time at Windsor; he's probably even better on this slower surface so looks sure to run well off what remains a fair mark.

J: Jack Doughty

Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today.

Some promise in three handicap runs, including her stable debut last month (8.6f, raced too freely), and this return to 6f should suit; others have more obvious claims though.

Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player.
