Good performance after tracking the speed to win by a neck at The Meadows over 525m (30.08) beating Sharapova Star in Free For All on August 22. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Another step up here but he can run well

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Horsham over 485m in 27.40 last start, beating Paw Niall. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Needs to lead

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 530m at Angle Park in a handy (30.57), beating Paw Leon. Will need things to go right from the draw but he does look a chance.
