Dual 5f Polytrack winner (once here) this year; not discredited in higher-grade company over 6f here last month and probably still on a workable mark for this drop back to her optimum trip; must be considered.

Won easily in today's headgear combination on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW) and ran big race in defeat when dropped back to 5f at Catterick (good; wore cheekpieces) last week; quickly back in action before latest 2lb rise takes effect and may still have more to offer for new trainer.

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt.

Prominent racer who capitalised upon good mark when winning from stall 1 over C&D six weeks ago; only 2lb higher today but this race is competitive and others appeal more.

Kieran O'Neill Scott Dixon

Didn't run badly when fourth over C&D last week but is now 0-11 for Scott Dixon and her overall profile remains unappealing.
