11st 8lb

J: Dominic Hislop

T: N W Alexander

Won two of his last four, accounting for Snow Dragon at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft; from 4lb lower) in February; the snag is that the other two efforts were laboured ones, beaten 28l into fourth over 2m here (good) three weeks ago; this longer trip can assist.

J: Dominic Hislop

T: N W Alexander

Inconsistent but won at Ayr (2m3f, heavy) in December and returned to form to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February on his latest start; ran well on good ground here last May and it's possible he'll cope with the drop back in trip; he can be in the shake-up if on another going day.

Three-time winner, most recently at Ayr (2m3f) on penultimate start; however, by no means certain to repeat that form, being far from consistent otherwise.

J: Bruce Lynn

T: N W Alexander

His three wins have been from 2m2f to 2m4f and unconvincing in two previous attempts at 3m; however, he is a last-time-out winner and only went up 2lb for that.

Back on the same mark as when winning at Musselburgh in February (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); best form this summer came when runner-up at Perth in June when visored for the first time (2m4f, good); not so good since; lacks a recent run.
