He was having just his second handicap run when comfortably seeing off six rivals at Haydock (1m6f, good; for today's rider) 24 days ago; unlikely his revised mark will prove beyond him in time; shortlist material.

Useful bumper winner; has been brought along steadily in this sphere, a patiently ridden seventh in 1m4f Kempton novice 26 days ago; looks capable of a fair bit better now going handicapping and not without interest.

Over two years since her last win but she's on a dangerous mark and hasn't been far away in her last three races, albeit over further (2m/1m6f); she does look vulnerable at this trip and was well beaten in her previous visit here.

A tongue-tie was added to cheekpieces when off the mark for this yard, getting up late at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) in July; weak in the market under a penalty when beaten 5l in amateur riders' event over C&D (good) the following week; combination of this trip and slow ground will be new to him.
