Won his first three starts on the AW as a 3yo and had been off for ten months when making a successful return in a Southwell seller (6f, Tapeta) 17 days ago; was favoured by the weights, though, and this will be harder back in a handicap.
Two wins each over 6f on turf for the Gosdens and Michael Bell and 4lb below his last winning mark; makes his debut for another new yard after four months off having changed hands for 10,000gns in September; held in only AW start (on Polytrack); enough to prove.
Last two wins have come over 5f, including here in August, but no problem with the return to this trip and although off for three months he has won after a longer layoff; one for the shortlist.
Best known for her 200-1 sole success in the Fillies' And Mares' Championship over 7f here in April, but she has performed at least as well when runner-up over C&D in her last two starts; up 2lb but another big effort seems likely.
Continues to slide down the weights and ran well when fourth of 11 over C&D 16 days ago, finishing just over 3l behind Heavenly Heather; each-way claims if building on that; can miss the break.
2-3 over C&D, winning with a bit more in hand than the neck margin would suggest three weeks ago; will need a bit more from 4lb higher in a better race, though.
Hardy veteran whose 14 wins include three here; only 2lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in April, but will need to hit the ground running if he is to win this after 103 days off.
