This ten-race maiden has been operating below her best for Phil Kirby and Adrian Nicholls this summer but has rejoined Jane Chapple-Hyam, for whom she was runner-up off 11lb higher over 6f at Southwell last December; her stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (faded on previous attempt) but a market move would very much bring her into the reckoning.

Veteran who added to his six turf wins when scoring off 3lb higher at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in December; several solid efforts since then and he shaped as though he needed the run on his Southwell reappearance 17 days ago; should be sharper this time and he's not ruled back down in grade. |

Won going away in 6f Yarmouth handicap last weekend on his first outing for James Owen; return to 7f is a plus if anything and he'll be a major player under a 5lb penalty if as effective on AW (unplaced in five previous attempts but they were early in his career and in line with what he'd achieved on turf at that stage).

Form has dipped slightly since two AW wins in March/April and remains on a 2lb higher mark than for the most recent win; however, he posted a better effort at Newbury in June, having been denied a clear run before finishing his race off well, and is worth considering on the back of that. |

Left his previous form behind with a shock win at 125-1 in Leicester handicap (6f, soft) in April; pulled up there next time but his jockey felt that he took a false step 2f out and this 4yo gelding still has potential in sprint handicaps; not ruled out back from a break. |
