Back to his best when winning a 13-runner handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good) under a very good ride 2 starts back. Ran every bit as well on the back of a 6 lb rise when staying on for third at Goodwood 16 days ago and should go well again for all he's operating from a career-high mark.

Ended juvenile campaign with success at Brighton (1m) in the autumn. Mixed bag so far this season but better start/prominent pitch undoubtedly helped when adding to his tally over this trip at Newbury 3 weeks ago. That may not prove his limit at this trip.

Ended a long losing sequence in 13-runner handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good to firm) in August and emerged with plenty of credit having been in front well before the winner in a strongly-run race when runner up at Haydock 12 days ago. Can be competitive again on back of a 2 lb rise.

Son of Justify who stepped up plenty on his first 2 starts when third in a Newcastle novice (7f) 10 days ago, picking up to good effect late on. This step up in trip promises to suit on that evidence now handicapping for all the assessor looks to have taken no chances with opening mark.

Placed all 3 starts at 2 yrs and produced her best effort to date in first-time cheekpieces when third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.5f, good) in July. Possibly not 100% when well held at Sandown later that month but has been given a 7-week break and she's worth another crack at this trip.

Opened account at Lingfield last autumn on final outing for George Boughey. Runner-up twice on all-weather for Stuart Williams earlier this year and not disgraced for all he was friendless in betting when seventh at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) on yard debut 16 days ago. Still, more needed up in trip.
