Made a winning 2yo debut before struggling in a Group 3/sales race afterwards; returned from a break to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; not fully exposed but a 3lb rise in a deeper race could leave her vulnerable.

Just one win to his name but he boasts some solid AW form and ran well on his return to the turf when third at Sandown two weeks ago; stall 10 isn't great but he is usually a rapid starter and it's not out of the question that he'll get to the front.

Two wins as a 2yo and showed improvement switched to AW when a close second (third past the post) in a 6f Group 3 at Kempton last September (for David O'Meara); never really threatened at Newcastle six weeks ago and only dropped 1lb; has the widest stall to contend with starting out for Archie Watson (same owners).

Just one win from nine 2yo runs for Charlie Fellowes but he has been transformed by the addition of a tongue tie, producing a smart turn of foot to win back-to-back 5f handicaps here this year; whacked up 16lb for those victories but the manner of them suggests there could be more to come; now tackles 6f for the first time.

0-4 but he's finished runner-up in last two starts and latest was a close call on handicap/AW debut over C&D in September; returns after four months off, but he has a progressive profile and is a big player back in a novice; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
