Just one win in the last five years but it came over C&D; back to form when second to Too Much Trevor over C&D nine days ago, doing comfortably best of the stands' side group, and 2lb better off today; good chance of turning the tables.

Best form on good to soft or slower but won twice on good ground in June and he's only 1lb higher than for the Ffos Las win (6f); beaten on AW twice since but the return to turf is a plus.

Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark.

Moderate form in her three qualifying starts but improved on entering this sphere at Chepstow (6f, good) latest, when she raced prominently but didn't quite have the pace late on; the step up in trip looks positive for her first start on Tapeta; drops 2lb; not ruled out.
