Close third of six on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to soft) last May, but she hasn't built on it and now 0-8, the hood making little difference last time; hard to recommend back in trip.

Won at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and was only beaten a head here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago with a yawning gap back to the rest; 4lb rise not the end of the world and good to soft ground wouldn't be a problem, but another furlong may have been preferable.

Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player.

Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is.

Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade.

Has done well in two starts since joining Adam Kirby with this headgear combination, winning easily on his return from 149 days off over C&D last month and only going down by half a length back here ten days later following a 10lb rise; much respected from the same mark.

Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering.
