Best known for AW exploits and yet was struggling on Tapeta back in the spring; only 1-22 on turf, lacks a run and he's up against in-form 3yos.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Joey Ramsden

Won three times on turf for Richard Hannon last year; runner-up three times this year for current yard but is proving to be inconsistent; runs without tongue-tie worn on last two starts; rated 5lb lower on AW but best chance of success would appear to be on turf.

Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up

Two short-priced wins (0-50 classified, then a 0-55 handicap) before held off his revised mark at this level last time; that was another in-form effort, though, and there's no obvious reason he won't go well once more.

His 0-50 classified win here last month has been well advertised since and he just did enough back into a handicap at Leicester (1m4f) last time, despite hanging left on good to firm ground; up 3lb with good chance of the hat-trick.

Won over C&D and at Musselburgh in June; flopped in his next two runs, but he's got back on track since then and was only narrowly denied by a subsequent winner here (1m4f) two weeks ago; that was a brave effort under a prominent ride and he's a key player back in trip.
