Showed promise on good to firm on reappearance, before last month's soft-ground wins at Lingfield (1m1f) and Ayr (1m2f); he had no answers, however, when fifth of 14 to Roc De Fer at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four days ago.

Always behind on all three appearances this season but was a three-time course winner (1m, good to firm-soft) last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; fine over today's trip and sure to appreciate this ease in grade; interesting to see whether connections opt to revert to more positive tactics today.

Triple course winner who made all over 1m at this track last September; has generally struggled since but she showed signs of a revival here (fourth of 12) three weeks ago and is now 6lb lower than for her last success; could be dangerous back up in trip and she's versatile ground-wise.

Three-time C&D winner last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; much less effective when ridden very patiently on all four appearances this season but her keeping-on fifth here (1m2f, soft) last month was a big step back in the right direction; well handicapped now and needs close attention in the betting.
