Both wins have come at Kempton (1m, AW), the latest a week ago; just 1lb wrong under his 5lb penalty and he remains unexposed, but fast ground is an unknown (best turf run on soft); stable also runs Distinct Spirit.
Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted.
Two wins this year came on the AW, but his sole turf win came over this trip on good to firm ground; may be best to forgive his latest Chester performance and a possible if back on song.
Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon.
Sole win came on the AW and is 0-6 on turf, but she ran well when chasing home an in-form rival over C&D (good to firm) last month; a player from the same mark.
Lightly raced since making a winning debut at Salisbury (7f, good) two years ago; returns from another nine months off and the market may provide clues.
Two wins last summer, including one over C&D, and got back to winning ways at Bath (1m, firm) eight days ago; was already due a 2lb drop then so is just 3lb higher under her penalty (1lb well in); one for the shortlist.
Went up 8lb for for her emphatic success at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April; ran with credit when third of six at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) the following month, but well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; only 2lb lower and probably needs further than this now.
Holds his form well and wasn't beaten far into fifth of 13 here (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago (Nakaaha 3l behind in sixth); has won twice over this trip, but a suspicion that 7f suits him best.
May not have achieved that much when justifying odds of 1-2 in a Lingfield novice (1m, AW; first start since being gelded) in February and was well beaten on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; this is only his second start on turf, but other look more compelling.
2-3 since handicapping, his latest success coming on his turf debut over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago; 5lb higher and will likely face different conditions this time, but he remains open to further improvent; respected.
Turf maiden winner who did well on the AW during the winter, but well held on his return from six months off at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; something to prove tackling this far for the first time.
