Form & Verdict
Acts on good and soft ground; record of 4-15 and his wins were in handicaps last season, including over C&D; still 8lb higher than for his last success but he was runner-up at Thirsk in April and did best of the pacesetters when fourth at Haydock (7f, good) last time; returns after a break and he's in the mix on this drop back in trip.

Has a record of 5-17, all wins at 6f; head second, clear of remainder, last Monday (soft) when bidding to take his Hamilton record to 3-3; likely to cope with the drop in distance and holds leading claims off same mark turned out before he's reassessed.

From humble beginnings he's done so well in 6f turf handicaps and a recent win from in-form rivals here (good to soft; second was wide-margin winner on Saturday) took him to 2-2 over this C&D; up 4lb but he's from an illustrious sprinting family and he can continue a stealthy upward climb.

Several creditable efforts this summer before getting back on the scoresheet with a strong finish over C&D (good; second-time cheekpieces) last week; this is tougher under a penalty but that was a personal best last time and she should get a good tow into this race; respected.
