Form & Verdict
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat.

9st 9lb

J: Shay Farmer

T: Iain Jardine

Free-going front-runner who's won five already this year, including a four-timer in high summer (5f-7f); another in-form effort off his revised mark last time and won't mind the drop from 7f or the return to Tapeta.

Form & Verdict
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.
