Easy win at Chester (7.5, good) nine days ago; up 6lb but still high on the list

Made all in a 1m handicap at Nottingham last month; up 5lb but unexposed

C&D win last month; fair effort in a 0-80 last week; can do better returned to Class 5

Looked tricky last time but a change of headgear could help and she's still low mileage

Ran as well as he ever has when second at Ripon last month; drying ground is a query

Has a more realistic chance now handicapping but his opening mark looks stiff
