Fully effective over C&D and fine on good to soft (more to prove on soft); unplaced at Brighton last time but beaten under 3l despite being allowed to coast home in the final 100 yards having seen no daylight; should be in the thick of it.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Peter Crate

Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Runner-up in two of her four starts for this stable, including in a handicap over this C&D last month, but she was below her best having failed to settle at Epsom (6f, good to firm; unseated her rider on her way to the start) last time; needs to settle better returned to this longer trip but has claims back in a maiden.

Three AW wins this year, the latest here (6f) nine days ago; only 3lb higher under a penalty (1lb ahead of the handicapper) and he has form over a mile so this trip should be fine; one to consider.

Sole win was in a Hamilton maiden (6f, good) last May but he's well handicapped on his best form and wasn't beaten far from a wide draw at Wolverhampton last time; could go well back in trip and he's not ruled out for yard that won this last year.
