Wide variety of ground when she registered four wins over 1m5f this May-September and another in tidy style when produced late over 1m4f at Hamilton (scene of three of those wins) 12 days ago; those also came with a variety of tactics; up another 5lb but she's on a major roll.

0-12 since winning last October on his third start and he's inconsistent; however, he returned to form with a close fifth of 13 at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) recently and this stiffer track may well be a positive; chance.

Showed promise on sole run on soft (unraced on heavy); won at Carlisle in June and he's been second or third in his other four handicaps, over 1m4f on last two occasions; despite pedigree, he now shapes as if 1m6f may be within reach, so he also needs a second look.

2022 was her year when winning five handicaps at Hamilton and a Listed race at Abu Dhabi; now on a losing run, during which she's failed to manage a place, but her 50-1 fourth of nine from out the back over C&D (going beyond 1m6f for first time) 15 days ago helps to show that all hope may not be lost given that she has her lowest mark for two years.

Made belated reappearance last month and hasn't threatened on either run this season (1m/1m2f), but he won a C&D novice (good) last September and this lightly raced 4yo could relish today's step back up in trip; top Newmarket trainer has an excellent 39% strike-rate here.

Runner-up on first three starts (1m2f) before easily getting off the mark in Hamilton novice (1m4f, good) last September; fair fourth on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) later that month; absent since and gelded; the first-time hood and drop back in trip are interesting for this headstrong Frankel 4yo, and he's not discounted on his return to action.
