All or nothing for Jack Channon, from whom he was picked up for 7,000gns; sprung a surprise off 4lb lower over C&D recently on debut for new yard, beating Dagger Strike by a head; now has to prove he can string together two performances.

Easy to back on his recent C&D comeback, his first start in five months having been gelded, and cracked late on off tonight's mark; entitled to have come on for that but is exposed after a busy first season.

After 12 races, for two wins, she should be far more exposed than today's rivals; however, her best form was on last two outings when second at Epsom (8.5f, good) and winning with a steady late bid at Salisbury (upped to 1m2f, good; 4lb higher today) and that earns respect.

7f maiden win at Epsom last summer (only four ran); well beaten on her reappearance but she fared better when second of six back at Epsom last month (8.5f, good); stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust and less-exposed rivals may have her measure.

Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove.
