All turf runs on good or quicker ground; has had a busy year with some mixed results but he's taken a healthy drop in the weights and nearly nicked a Carlisle race in July; returned to that level when imposing himself on a C&D race 12 days ago and, back up 4lb, should have a big say.

Has clicked since handicapping on fast turf, his two seconds working out particularly well subsequently; off the mark in good style at Thirsk (6f) last time and this half-brother to a Tapeta winner remains open to improvement despite 7lb rise; high on the shortlist.

She was 28-1 and contesting just her second handicap when scoring at Ayr (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; fair effort under a penalty over that C&D one week later but she lacked the pace to land a blow when dropped to 5f last time; also squeezed out at the start that day so interesting to see how she fares at the trip this time.
