Front-running filly who was second on her C&D reappearance (good to soft; acts on soft) before winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good) in May/June; freshened up since a lesser effort in Ripon in early July and capable of bouncing back.

Three-time winner this year, the most recent coming when narrowly holding off Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in July; did well to finish as close as he did at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 12 days ago after his blindfold was removed late and has good claims if seeing out this stiffer 1m2f.

Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Progressive 4yo who scored over C&D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him.

Form & Verdict
Very smart 2yo who has lost his way but off a much reduced mark he was a close fourth at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) after being well backed; he might well have won that race on another day as he hit some traffic.
