Below par the last twice but drops in grade and is not written off in a change of headgear

Very solid record over C&D last season and she may have needed her recent run here

Arrives in good heart and there's every chance he'll be bang there once more

Only fifth of seven a fortnight ago but has won twice this season and could bounce back

Won two in a row in May and his good form has continued; firmly in calculations

Running well in defeat prior to Thirsk, where he had an excuse; might not be far away
