9st 4lb

J: Jason Hart

T: John & Sean Quinn

Headgear and a switch to minor handicaps have seen good progress since November, including scoring twice over 6f here; won again at Catterick (6f, good; made all) last month and good third of 14 at Doncaster (6f again) since; while best form has been at 6f, the speed he's shown in recent starts suggests he should be equally effective at 5f; likely to go well.

Headgear and a switch to minor handicaps has seen him make good progress since November, winning for the third time when making all at Catterick last month (6f, good); up 3lb and he has other pace to contend with in this bigger field.

Progressive in low-level 6f handicaps, winning at Newcastle in October and placed in both runs this summer; step back up to 7f can help and she won't mind if the rain arrives.

Run to a similar level in two starts in the tongue-tie since handicapping; latest effort over 5f can be marked up a touch (stumbled at the start and came widest from the outside stall at Windsor) and he holds decent claims.

Ex-Ed Walker; couldn't cling on when third on stable debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) 17 days ago, with Carnation Queen fifth; a hood is now applied, presumably to curb a free-going nature; Harriet Bethell has been among the winners in recent weeks.
