Came right back to form when getting the run of the race over a shorter trip here on his last start belatedly opening his account. Given his overall profile he doesn't look one to getting too excited about following up off 5lb higher.
Showed that some ability remained when taking advantage of a falling mark to end a long losing run on the Flat when winning at Bath in June off 2lb lower. Ran with credit over the same C&D last time and should be involved here.
His only win this year came in a lowly 0-55 company over 1m2f on the AW but whilst he appeared to show a return to form on his penultimate start he failed to back that up. Given his very inconsistent profile he best watched here.
Now had three runs for her new yard and started favourite on her last two runs running poorly in first-time cheekpieces last time (now tried in blinkers). Probably raced too close to the pace last time but hardly looks to be improving.
Looked to have needed the race on her turf debut over shorter here on her penultimate start but did improve on that last time back on the AW. If she can reproduce her last run here back on turf she would have a chance with the trip looking to suit.
A record of 0/15 hardly inspires confidence and underlines the inconsistency in her profile with her last run a very poor one. Probably needs a real test to be shown at her best and even this 1m3f might prove a little sharp.

Not an awful lot to get excited about here with none of the runners making much appeal as a betting proposition. Overhaugh Street might have found a soft race to tray and follow-up in but a 5lb rise will make that tougher and the Bath scorer HALLINGHAM is preferred. Rianna Star is one of two runners from the Gary Moore yard and she looks as though she might have a little bit of improvement in her if she can reproduce her AW runs on turf. Sevilla will probably be strong in the market due to connections being flavour of the month but her form hardly justifies support even in this lowly grade.
