Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher.

All runs on soft or very soft; the two defeats were in France and on his only British run he beat none other than last week's Great Voltigeur winner Maltese Cross in a 1m maiden at Ascot; has to be of interest off this mark on handicap debut, though market support would be welcomed after so long out.

Beaten 1l by a fellow British-trained newcomer (who was favourite) in a 7f conditions race on soft ground at Deauville three weeks ago; difficult to get a grip on that form but the RPR of 85 was smart.

Quietly progressive, always close up when fourth of 12 on handicap debut over C&D (good; unraced on firmer) three weeks ago and he was only just behind Akho Mezzna and Bridge Of Eagles that day on almost the same terms; after just four races, he should still be open to improvement.

Solid performances sent handicapping over 1m on his three starts this season, fourth of 11 to Ciarrai Abu at Ascot (good to firm) last time; now 5lb lower than on handicap/seasonal debut, which does not make a compelling case for him but this return to 1m2f is also likely to help.

Built on his May return when close-up fifth of 13 at Newmarket (1m, good; fourth and eighth have won subsequently) three weeks ago; didn't have a clear path that day and a 1lb drop won't hurt his cause; considered.

Hard to predict and has record of 1-15 but she bounced back with a good third in a Class 4 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has possibilities if she can back that up and she's still lightly raced on turf.

May have needed the run when down the field on her seasonal/handicap debut in May; took a good step forward with her win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb and stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust but she still has time on her side.

All starts on AW; sole start at 2m resulted in short-priced flop at Chelmsford in November; won at that track (1m6f) next time but he let favourite backers down again when beating one home over that trip at Wolverhampton in March; 1m4f caught him out last time but others look safer.
