Beat 17 rivals at York last month and was a fair fourth at Hamilton last week; in the mix

All wins over further but he usually makes the running and could go well back at 6f

On workable mark but he's 1-14 and needs to bounce back after disappointing run at Thirsk

In-form 7yo but his tactical speed will be tested back on this return to sprinting

Beat a 1-3 shot at Bath (5f) in June and he's respected on handicap/stable debut

Won at Catterick in April but she's been up and down since and some others look stronger
