J: Alex Jary

Completed a sprint hat-trick last summer and he has repeated the feat this time around, coming here on the back of wins at Ayr, Beverley and Thirsk; up 4lb as he bids for the four-timer; should be in the thick of it again.

Won three in a row last season and he's got back on the scoresheet with wins at Ayr (6f) and Beverley (5f, both on good to firm) in his last two starts; has a penalty for his last success but that was a personal best and he's a big player in this hat-trick bid.

Not yet off the mark and was vulnerable in her early handicaps but she made a good fist of it when third on the wing over C&D (good to firm) in July; not so good here since but that was her third run in two weeks and will perhaps be all the better for more of a break this time.

Nine-race maiden; quiet start for new stable but there was a welcome return to form when third of eight over C&D last week, keeping on and finishing in front of Water Of Leith; 3lb lower today and Danny Tudhope a good booking for the yard (three wins and three seconds from 14 rides); contender.
