Won over this trip at Brighton in April (3lb lower mark) but below par there last time out. Had earlier produced an arguably a career-best to go close at Chepstow under De Sousa, so perhaps significant he is back on board.
One win from eight career starts came at Leicester in July and she has now slipped back to the same mark. By no means disgraced in a better race at Sandown last time so has to be respected, having gone well here as a juvenile.
Nine race maiden, but has reasonable placed form over this trip in the book, most notably when just touched off at Kempton in June. Easy conditions against her at Lingfield last time so dangerous to dismiss, though draw far from ideal.
Yet to really build on the promise she showed over 7f at Kempton first time out, finishing way down the field on her handicap debut at Lingfield earlier this month. Plenty to prove off just a 2lb lower mark.
Well beaten in four outings to date but has shaped with a degree of promise on occasions, though patently failed to stay 1m2f on her handicap debut here last time out. Fitness query on first run for a new yard after a lengthy absence.
No impact in maidens but not beaten far in all starts since sent handicapping, the last three at Yarmouth over 5f and 6f. Remains weighted to be competitive but has yet to prover her effectiveness over a trip this far.
Winless in 13 starts combined for two previous yards but, despite a long absence, she was fancied in the market to make a winning start for this stable at Brighton 10 days ago, only to disappoint. Evidently thought capable of better.
Winless in 10 turf starts but has won three times on the AW, including over this C&D. Has shown little the last twice but has slipped to a mark just 2lb higher than what he won from at Wolverhampton in June.
Little show in maidens but a winner of his handicap debut in first time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (6f) in June. Just touched off over C&D on Wednesday, so respected off the same mark, though was much better drawn on that occasion.
Bits and pieces of form to suggest she may have a win in her at some stage but its now 10 starts without success after a poor effort at Brighton (1m, good to soft) last time out. Hard to fancy dropping back in distance.

Tulip Dress (7/2), Frank's Legacy (9/2), Art's Desire (5/1), Miss Osier (5/1), Dream Start (11/2), Viola Park (8/1), Touch Of Color (10/1), Dashing Poet (10/1), Zenovia (12/1), Agnethe (12/1), Western Safari (12/1), Ronni Layne (33/1), Greyjoy (66/1)
Frank's Legacy was just touched off by Prince Jai in an apprentices' event over C&D on Wednesday so has obvious claims off the same mark, though a much less favourable draw would appear to leave him vulnerable. One viable alternative could be MISS OSIER who hasn't been disgraced in better company of late, having won from this mark at Leicester in July, albeit over an extra furlong. Dream Start is much better drawn now than when disappointing over C&D earlier in the week and also merits consideration.
