Form & Verdict

Always well placed off a moderate pace when deservedly making it twelfth time lucky in an all-ages C&D 0-72 last month (good); not the first time he's done well at this idiosyncratic venue, and hopes rest with his return here having offered far less off a career-high mark at Sandown since.

Largely consistent in headgear this year and came good with clearcut success at Epsom (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago, his 12th start; probably needs another career best but is evidently in very good nick.

Form & Verdict

Won the 7f fillies' maiden on this card last year; not particularly kicked on since but more positive signs again the past twice, reversing last month's C&D form with Hello Cotai (beaten over 2l; short of room) on their recent Sandown rematch; mark continues to drift gently.

7f maiden winner at Epsom last August and placed over 8.5f there on two of her last three outings, coming wide and late when short-headed on latest; all those were on good ground and creditable fourth over C&D on penultimate start shows that she also acts on good to firm; respected.

7f Leicester scorer in June off only 1lb lower (good to firm), and last week's Kempton third isn't the only indication since that 1m could be worth a go (one winner at the trip among siblings); respected.

Strongly backed to get the job done at last in a Wolverhampton maiden handicap last month (8.6f) and duly obliged; back up 5lb and more exposed than any here, but entitled to derive confidence from that success.

Off the mark in a maiden handicap over C&D in July, but that was a moderate contest and he has twice been held on turf since; this also isn't a great race, though, and at least he is proven in the conditions.

Belatedly came good in maiden handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month, his 15th start, and his recent fourth at Epsom (8.5f, good) was perfectly respectable; suited by this C&D; each-way claims at least.

Gently regressive RPRs in Polytrack novice/maiden 7f contests last autumn and winter; plenty of encouragement for 1m-plus on pedigree, but conceding experience of turf and recent match practice all round.

Form & Verdict

Too headstrong to last home on her seasonal/handicap debut at Chelmsford; that was ten weeks ago and a quicker reappearance may have made her more appealing still, but the drop back from 1m2f makes sense and she could enjoy spinning off these bends out in front; down 2lb.
