Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood.

Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him.

Doubled her winning tally on turf over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, but will need to improve again to defy a 4lb higher mark and she does look best on a faster surface.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Grace Harris

First turf win when beating three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May; she's run creditably over this C&D in the meantime, notably when checked in her run but keeping at it two starts ago; lesser run next time but she's run well both times Rossa Ryan has ridden her and should do so again.

Beaten just over a length into third of six behind Kodi Fire over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago; didn't enjoy a clear run there and now 5lb better off, but her modest strike-rate is a concern.

Has done a lot of his racing at 1m and has often pulled hard when going further, including in the hood (back on tonight; tongue-tie comes off) but does stay this far; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and needs to leave two lesser efforts behind.
