The first up run was just average, finishing sixth and beaten 15 lengths over 1400m at Newmarket (July). Has a decent second up record. Expect a better outcome this time.

Yet to hit his straps in two runs this time in work, the latest effort a fourth over 2400m at Ripon. Has the ability and is among the leading hopes.

Nice return last start when runner-up at this track over 1600m on June 18. Further improvement in store.

Has struggled to make his mark of late, the most recent effort a fourth over 1600m at Brighton three-and-a-half weeks ago. Ridden last time by a claiming apprentice, replaced for this assignment by a senior rider. Likely to play a big role.

Has been out of the money recently including last start when fourth over 2000m at this track five weeks ago, beaten 6 lengths. Prefer to see him back in form.

Returned from a spell and was easily accounted for when seventh over 1400m at Lingfield. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.
