Made some late ground first-up at Northam when sixth in a Class 5 over 1400m, beaten just over five lengths after beginning slowly and giving away a start. He comes back to a Class 3 and is proven around this distance, with one win and one placing from two attempts. Top weight is the query, even with the claim.

Worked home evenly at Belmont Park last start when fifth, beaten just under three lengths at big odds, and now eases from mid-week company. His previous sixth at Ascot was also sound enough on margin, but he goes to around 1685m for the first time and remains winless from six starts in the past 12 months. Not here.

Comes back on a quick turnaround after finishing second at this track last week, beaten just over two lengths by Rory's Revenge while racing wide from the 600m and laying in late. That was a clear lift on his previous eighth here, and he also beat Gilded Reign in that recent clash. Wouldn't surprise to see him fire.

Resumes after five months and has trialled at Lark Hill last month, which gives some readiness for this return. He ended last campaign with two fourths, the latest as favourite at this venue on soft ground when making solid inroads from well back. Can feature on resumption.

Broke through in good style at Northam last start, winning a Mdn by a length and a half as favourite after being steadied near the 700m, then picking up strongly late. That followed a long-neck second to Costa Del Darlo, so her form is heading the right way. Too good last start and she can keep the ball rolling.

Backs up quickly after finishing fifth at this track last week, beaten four and a half lengths at big odds after having the drop on the leaders but failing to finish it off. The Belmont run prior in BM54+ company was plain, though he did cover ground in the middle stages. Can bounce back to his best under this scenario.

Battled into a distant fourth at Collie last start in BM64+ grade, beaten six and a half lengths after racing wide early, and now comes to a harder meeting. The grade and weight are kinder, but her previous Ascot run was plain when second last at long odds. Others rate better.

Was only battling at Northam last start when seventh, beaten four and a half lengths, with the stewards noting he raced keenly through the middle stages. His prior second to Side Show was much stronger, beaten just over half a length after settling just off the lead. Can put his best foot forward.
