Comment: Consistent AW form (212323) since handicapping, most recently close third to Night Tara over C&D on debut for new yard; solid contender who holds a fighting chance with Mason Paetel taking off useful 3lb.

Comment: Useful pedigree and she knew her job on Kempton AW debut (1m, 11-2), making much of the running and not easily shaken off by one who had already had two runs; goes the other way round here but her experience of Polytrack should be helpful; solid to go well.

Comment: Never involved on Newbury debut (6f; 14-1) but she came on plenty for the run and the extra furlong when faring much better at Salisbury recently, travelling well but running green under pressure when a close second to the more experienced favourite; can improve further over 1m.

Comment: All three wins on Dundalk Polytrack, at 6f and 5f (making all in two of them), for previous yard; went off the boil in the spring but he's been running well on turf for new connections and the return to Polytrack can suit; one of the more obvious ones.
