Won at about 1m at Nottingham (good) in May but rather becalmed since, even if her recent third here, on the return to 7f, was one of her better runs; yard in form but slight question as to whether this stiff 1m is ideal. |

Slow starter; two wins in May, over C&D (soft) and 1m (good) and little between him and Stockpyle on June form here; was beaten before the 1m2f trip was an issue in July but the earlier form makes him interesting in a race that will be truly run. |

C&D winner last spring (soft; debut for this yard) who again ran well on his comeback here in April; another solid effort last time, albeit he got turned over at a short price, and a reproduction of that would give him every chance in a weak handicap. |

Kicked off campaign with two wins at Bath (1m, soft) before a good second there (1m, good), and she returned to winning ways at Nottingham (1m, good to soft); it's unlikely she's going to be on slow ground today, which dents confidence somewhat, but this thriving mare is still respected. |
