Broke his maiden over 5f at Catterick (good-to-soft) last October. Well held at Ripon (good) over the same distance on his seasonal debut in April and this return to a softer surface may help with a hood worn for the first time today.
Registered a double last summer including off a 7lb lower mark at York (good) over 6f in July. Placed off this mark on good-to-soft ground at Chester subsequently but disappointing on her seasonal debut at Thirsk (good-to-firm) in April.
Maiden winner on the AW at Chelmsford in March and ran a decent race when beaten 1L at Windsor (good) subsequently. Disappointing at Goodwood (good) last time out and has to put that effort behind her if she's to record a second success today.
Broke her maiden at the sixth time of asking in a first time hood (retained) at Nottingham (good-to-soft) over 5f earlier this month. Slowly away on that occasion and and an interesting runner in this following a 5lb rise in the weights.
Sole win in 11 starts came at Wetherby (good) over an extended 5f in May last year. Best effort in 2017 came when finishing fourth on the AW at Wolverhampton earlier this month but concerns having run poorly at Windsor on Monday.

Sitar (2/1), Franca Florio (11/4), Midnightly (3/1), Wadood (4/1), Miss Rosina (14/1), Verdi (25/1)
WADOOD broke his maiden on good-to-soft ground last year and this return to a softer surface can see him put a poor seasonal debut at Ripon behind him by taking this. Of the selections rivals here Franca Florio already has two victories to her name and can put a disappointing return at Thirsk behind her to claim second here ahead of last time out winner Sitar.
