J: Laura Coughlan

T: K R Burke

Three-time winner at 7f-1m and steadily progressive until a below-par effort at Chester (7.5f) most recently; may bounce back but this is no easy task off current mark in such a competitive affair.

Winner of Chester seller (7f) last June and has shown progress to add two handicaps elsewhere (overall record is 3-6); good third at Haydock (1m, good to firm) most recently; holds solid claims and should go well.

J: Mr Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Has taken great strides since winning a seller last June, winning with authority on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good to firm) on final 2yo start and he again had reserves when successful at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) this month; up 4lb but he's anything but exposed; respected.

Improved with each run as a 2yo, readily winning nursery at Newbury (7f, good to firm; subsequently gelded) on last of them in July; has a long absence to overcome but he's in good hands and may still have untapped potential; should have no difficulty at all getting 1m.
