Both wins have come on turf but he's effective on AW and ran well on unfavourable terms at Kempton last week; this track not sure to play to his strengths but a fast early pace would help.

Two Tapeta wins last season and she added a Polytrack handicap at Chelmsford in February (off this mark); absent for five months before her good front-running second at Chelmsford two weeks ago, picked off late by an in-form closer; runs against her own sex off the same mark and she has to be on the shortlist. |

Picked up well to win a Lingfield handicap last week in decisive fashion (6f); 1lb well in under his penalty and he boasts plenty of form at this track; should be involved again.

Three 7f runs this summer, running to an RPR of 74 on slow ground on his first two outings; form dipped last time but he's worth a crack at 6f and he hasn't got a huge amount to find. |

Second in six-runner maiden at Haydock (7f, good to soft) and 15-runner novice won by Welleef at Leicester (7f, soft; made most); has a 7lb pull with Welleef, so a major chance on form, but the winner was impressive. |

Five wins when trained by George Scott; two modest runs for new yard and may need more weight off his back; this an ease in grade, at least.

Three AW wins for George Scott, the latest from 3lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in April; didn't enjoy a smooth passage when beating one home on stable debut back there 12 days ago, but will still need to fare much better if he is to win this. |

Turf winner for John Butler last summer; 0-12 for current yard, easily best of his last seven starts when beaten a neck at Bath in August; can front-run, in which case stall 1 should be a positive but he was always midfield from the same berth on Chelmsford Polytrack on latest outing. |

Just minor promise in two runs for Philip Makin and he was a well-beaten 150-1 shot on last month's stable debut; more realistic chance now handicapping but not obviously well treated.

Needs to improve on the form he showed in two outings over 7f (AW/turf) for Phillip Makin; chance depends on whether the drop in trip helps on debut for new stable. |

Won twice on AW over the winter, notably a 6f handicap at Southwell off a 6lb lower mark; effective over C&D and not handicapped out of things; has had a wind operation during his summer break; drawn widest; stable also runs Alafdhal.

Had a purple patch on AW over the winter, winning five times in six starts between November and January (four of them over C&D); out of sorts on firm ground in Jersey this summer but he returns to Phil McEntee off a handy mark; could fare much better today.

Had a purple patch on AW over the winter, winning five times in six starts between November and January (four of them over C&D); out of sorts on firm ground in Jersey this summer and looked in need of the run when last of ten here 19 days ago; 5lb drop helpful and he's the type to come good again soon; stable quiet though. |
