Two wins this term, latest at Nottingham last month (8.5f, good to firm); two close seconds since; an obvious contender but stamina to prove on first run at 1m2f (stays 1m1f).

Sole win from 21 starts came at Bath (1m, good) in April; bounced back from a poor effort when runner-up over this C&D last month and shaped as if still in good form at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leaving the impression the return to 1m would suit; chance.

Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though.

Four of his five wins have come over 6f/7f on the AW, but the other came in emphatic fashion here (6f, good to firm) a year ago; probably ran even better than it looked when third of ten at Lingfield (7f, good) last month and a major player for last year's winning stable.

He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable.
