Tongue tied all starts; won his first two handicaps, over C&D (good to firm) last August/September, and a below-par effort on her final outing was probably down to the soft ground; returns from seven months off and the market should be most informative.
Comment
2-2 over C&D last year; market should be most informative after seven months off

0-18 but does possess ability as when second of 15 on his return from four months off here (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; usually takes a good grip, though, and this sort of trip has found him out in the past.

0-18 but does possess ability; usually takes a good grip and still has stamina to prove

Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player.
Comment
C&D winner last month and has remained in good form since; rider gets on well with him
Quotes
"There was no real pace on paper beforehand. I wasn't going quick where I was but if I'd been going any quicker I'd have taken Moon Over The Sea out of his comfort zone. He's seen the trip out well - Jason Watson, jockey, speaking to Sky Sports Racing."

Just 3-44 but she is consistent and has winning form over C&D; was returning from 87 days off when beaten about 4l into fourth of 11 behind Moon Over The Sea here last month and should finish closer on 5lb better terms; new headgear combination.

Had dropped 11lb lower than when last successful when beaten a neck at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month (third and fourth have won since); races off the same mark, but she didn't get home in one previous attempt over this far.
Comment
Well treated and only just beaten last time, but her stamina for this far remains unproven
Quotes
"Gert Lush is a good ride, very easy and tends to like this sort of track. A bit like all of mine, she started this season a bit quiet, but she's been running herself into form. She doesn't mind a bit of good to soft, but not soft as she's only got small feet - Roger Teal, trainer."
