2-30, but twice placed in three starts on good to firm ground; shouldn't be far away

Winner of 16 races and still in form, but is 0-12 on straight tracks which is a concern

0-9; second here last month but needs to show he can repeat that back on a faster surface

1-12; may need this after 262 days off; market may provide clues

1lb lower than for her sole success over C&D a year ago; blinkers on; interesting

Heavy defeat here in May didn't suggest she was a winner waiting to happen

1-20 and finished 14l behind the winner when third at Ffos Las last time; needs more

Won at the 21st attempt over 6f here last time; no surprise if she goes well again
