Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark.

Both wins last season were over 1m2f, latterly over C&D in September off 1lb lower than today; two minor honours from three starts this turf season ensure that he has a prominent place in calculations.

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.

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.
