J: Jonny Peate

T: James Fanshawe

Did not progress after last September's AW novice win but looked back in good nick when cosily exploiting much-reduced mark at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; this race is much stronger but a 3lb rise ought to be manageable if she's in similar form again.

Won a small-field novice at Southwell (1m, AW) last September, but she's found things tough since including in four handicaps (1m-1m3f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but she needs to raise her game back up in trip; hood reapplied.

Won good-ground maiden (C&D) and novice hurdles last spring but he ran poorly on handicap debut here in between and his form at this level since hasn't borne much fruit (first-time tongue-tie latest, blinkers now added); however, he may well do better on second run back from a break with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over.

Seems to act on most ground; recorded the latest of his six wins when scoring at Leicester (1m4f, good; stays further) in April but he's been below par over the summer and beat a total of one rival across his last three starts; now handicapped accordingly but revival still required.
