Eddie And Violet Smith Conditions Stakes (GBB Race)

Recorded his sixth victory of the year with a career-best effort in 5.4f handicap at York 16 days ago; he's also a winner in the mud so must enter calculations once more.

C&D scorer who resumed winning ways in some style when easily making all in 5f handicap at Haydock 17 days ago; this speedy sort is proven in the mud too and rates the form pick; big shout.

Looked a smart prospect when landing the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (on soft) last September but he beat only one in Haydock's Sandy Lane Stakes in May and has been off since; he needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence.

Likeable mare who ended a losing run when bagging her fourth C&D handicap victory six days ago; that success came off a BHA mark of 82 though so this demands a clear personal best.

Scored three times (including over C&D) as a juvenile and signed off with victory in Newmarket's Cornwallis Stakes (on good to soft ground) in October; well below that form when beating just one home in 5f Sandown Listed event on her return in June and absent since; yard is going well but she has something to prove now.
