Outpointed subsequent Wokingham winner Baccarat in a 19-runner handicap at York (6f, soft) in May. Not at her best over the same C&D latest, but no surprise if she bounces back with a bold bid here.
Useful performance when winning a 6f maiden here on sole 2-y-o start, and runner-up in listed company on return at Sandown in May. However, well held back from a break in a York handicap recently.
Fairly useful form best on Flat, winning a 1½m Saint Cloud maiden in May. Disappointing in handicaps last twice but still of interest now switching her attentions to hurdling.
Landed a soft-ground Newmarket (1m) maiden sole 2-y-o start, but hasn't gone on as hoped in 3 runs this term. That said, it's still early days and he's not one to write off just yet. Up in trip.
Battalion - (Newbury, 14:20) 11/2 3rd Progressive in 2013 and made a mockery of his mark when making all in Ripon handicap on return in April. Back on track when third in a small-field Group 3 at Kempton last month, and headgear may help.
Much improved when a staying-on fifth in the Derby and has confirmed that form with a couple of strong-finishing runner-up efforts in minor/listed company. Should be thereabouts.
Lancelot Du Lac - (Doncaster, 15:15) 16/1 5th Progressive in 2013, winning 4 times, and in much better heart than form figures this season might suggest. Back to a potentially good mark if primed after over 3 months off.
Went close in competitive 5f handicaps at Beverley and Doncaster in August/September. Below par at Ayr last time, but no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show here.
260,000 gns purchase who looked a useful prospect when landing a 7f Kempton maiden for Ralph Beckett on sole 2-y-o start. 14-month absence to overcome on debut for new yard/handicap bow here.
Crowley's Law - (Lingfield, 14:50)X Two wins from 6 runs in GB this season. Latest win at Leicester in June. 75/10, creditable 3 lengths 2nd of 8 to Shuruq in Istanbul Trophy at Veliefendi (8f, good) 54 days ago, no match for winner.
20/1, creditable 8 lengths 3rd of 17 to Albasharah in listed race at Newmarket (10f, good) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Course winner. Looks competitive on form.
Secondo - (Kempton, 17:30)3rd Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable 3rd of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) 69 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Roger Charlton. Now tried in a visor.
Opened his account in this sphere when bagging a soft-ground Musselburgh handicap (2m) in June. Similar form when fourth at York latest, and each-way possibilities now.
Madam Lilibet - (Hexham, 15:50)Winner Back-to-back Flat winner last autumn and demolished opposition in the mud at Pontefract last month. Isn't totally straightforward, but well weighted back over timber.
Roachdale House - (Doncaster, 13:50) X C&D winner on heavy at 2 yrs and successful again at Chester in June. Still lightly raced back from a break, though this sort of mark demands improvement.
