Not beaten far when finishing eighth at Newmarket (5f, good) on debut for this yard last July. Well held in two starts this term and probably best watched at present.

Good third at Thirsk (6f, good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last month. Below that form in two subsequent outings and is now rated 6lb lower than for his most recent success. Wears a hood for the first time.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 80| D

20/1

Below par effort at Thirsk (6f, good-to-firm) when returning from a break recently. Likely to have improved for the run but more needed if he's to register a victory in this.

HACKNEY ROAD, a winner on the AW last time out is taken to record her first turf victory in this competitive sprint contest. The selection is making just her third appearance on this surface and can see off Case Key who should appreciate the return to this trip having been narrowly beaten over it on his penultimate outing. The consistent Envisaging ran well here on seasonal debut and he can finish third this time.
