Comment: Had a wind operation in May and it's had the desired effect as he comes here chasing a quick four-timer (the three wins under Matthew Lloyd Slater); those wins have all come at Windsor, a track he's always had an affinity for, but he can't be discounted despite the double penalty and different test.

Comment: Made all to win a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February; returned from four months off with a fine fourth over 6f here last week, racing with plenty of enthusiasm but tiring in the final furlong; easy lead unlikely here but she doesn't have to dominate and she's an intriguing contender back at 5f.

Comment: Three wins at Wolverhampton last year; looks to retain all his ability, second of seven at Wolverhampton in April on penultimate start; more to prove on turf but did show some promise on a sound surface last summer; this should be run to suit one that comes from off the pace and he's a contender.

Comment: Down a long way in the weights since 6f and 7f wins as 2yo in Ireland; looked to be turning things round earlier in the year, at 7f (AW) and 6f (good to firm) but was back on the slippery slope at York since.

Comment: Five starts in total, faring clearly best when second in his two AW outings (7f/1m); ninth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good) last time, from a wide draw admittedly but it still suggests that a 2lb drop will not make all the difference.
