Held up this season, winning a 1m2f novice at Bath (firm) in May and 1m4f handicaps at Epsom (1m4f, good) and Catterick (soft) this month; has more to offer at 1m4f+ but she did require some riding before ending well on top six days ago, including as she tended to hang; has 6lb penalty and a 7lb claimer takes over in the saddle.

Has a solid record handicapping in a visor, best form when runner-up on last two starts; beaten a nose as the first two drew clear in a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) last time; up another 3lb but should have his say.

Steadily back to form, winning 13-runner race at Ayr (back up to 1m2f, good to soft) most recently; back up 3lb today but got up close home from well off the pace at Ayr and a first crack at 1m4f now looks in order.

Sent handicapping in cheekpieces when back to form for minor honours at Goodwood (1m2f, good) and Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) on last two outings; may need to find a bit extra, though.

Justified favouritism at Carlisle (1m1f) in May, always prominent; helped set the pace when creditable fifth of 13 to Say What You See at Ayr (1m2f, again good to soft) but the winner left the more striking impression with his much stronger finish.
