Stepped up with each run for this yard and made it third time lucky to get off the mark at Ffos Las over 1m in a classified stakes 16 days ago. Back up trip and more required back in handicap company.

11/2

Second at Chepstow over 1m in July but not at that level either start since. Four C&D wins to his name means he's got to be of some interest, though, especially with usual cheekpieces reapplied.

Off the mark at Lingfield in a classified stakes in June and was second of 12 in a handicap there 33 days ago. Building a good record at this trip and looks sure to give her running.

Won at Chepstow from 2 lb higher mark over 1m in June but has struggled in 5 runs, though was out of depth last time. Return to this grade should help.

11/2

Got off the mark at Lingfield in classified stakes on first try at this trip 17 days ago on second start for current connections. Showed a good attitude to see off 12 rivals which will stand him in good stead returned to handicap company. Sound follow-up claims.

Modest stuff when fifth of 12 in a handicap at Wolverhampton over 8.7f on all-weather 6 days ago, looking short of a change of gear. This new trip may help.

Best effort for this yard when second of 6 at Brighton over this trip in a classified stakes in August but well held next time out and is best opposed.

15/2

Step back in right direction when third of 6 over this trip at Chepstow 15 days ago, weakening final 1f. Failed to see things out beyond a mile on multiple occasions, though, and stamina is a concern.

KEV showed a good attitude when getting off the mark in classified company at Lingfield 17 days ago on just second start for current connections and can follow up back in a handicap. Rogers Dream is clearly improved, having switched to front-running tactics to devastating effect when routing rivals by 7½ lengths at Ripon 13 days ago and is feared most. Shifra goes well at this trip and holds place claims, too.
