HURRICANE (4) was below best last time when seventh at this track but three back was a Grade 4/5 winner in the quickest time on the card at this track. Likely to improve sharply this time. PAW DAMON (8) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for three wins and four minors. Placed last time (30.12) at this track in a Special conditions H, finishing second and beaten a nose. Suited here and expected to run well. PAW VORTEX (7) box seated off the lead and kept coming to win (34.66) at Sandown in Mix 3/4 over 595m. Leading chance again. HIGHLY CONNECTED (1) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.12 last start, beating Paw Monet. Has claims if at his best.

Missed the frame latest (31.21) when seventh over 525m at this track in a Special conditions H. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Makes strong appeal.

Got back last start and could only manage second but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Sandown (29.71) beating Paw Isla in a Grade 5 on July 9. Hard to envisage a win.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 595m at Sandown in a handy 34.66, beating Zipping Andora. Has ability and among the chances.
