Comment: Ran well when third on last month's seasonal debut (7f) but two lesser efforts have followed; has form over sprint trips but his recent habit of starting slowly makes him a risky option back at 5f.

Comment: Off the mark (at the expense of a subsequent winner) over 6f on Tapeta when last seen six months ago; needs to improve now handicapping, switched from cheekpieces to a visor.

Comment: Often ran over 7f in France and her two 6f wins last spring came on heavy ground; offered more on her second run back, over C&D a month ago, but again whether she'll have the toe for an easy 6f in a small field is the question.

Comment: Plenty of racing last year, when consistent aside from when out of her depth in Listed race at Newmarket; comeback third on Tapeta six weeks ago has been let down since but she was well backed and sets the standard in first-time cheekpieces.

50/1

Comment: 7f looked to stretch her on the AW when last seen but she'd previously looked exposed as ordinary; will need to have improved during her eight months on the sidelines.
