Dual C&D winner in the autumn; looked as good as ever when close second over C&D in early February, but that run was sandwiched between two heavy defeats and he remains on a tough mark.

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival.

Thriving mare who has won four in a row this summer and hit another personal best with her emphatic success here (1m5f, AW) on Saturday; turns out quickly under a double penalty but she still looks ahead of the game and is unexposed at this trip; key player.

Came away with an in-form rival when completing the hat-trick at Ffos Las on Wednesday (enjoyed the run of the race; now 2-2 for Millie Wonnacott); maybe won't go up by as much as the 5lb penalty when reassessed but a fair chance of going in again.

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.
