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: Ran well on this track as a 2yo and although mixed since returning from an absence he liked being back here when making all over 6f last week; better drawn today and is a speedy sort who can give it a good shot back at 5f.
