Form & Verdict
Has a striking pedigree but he didn't progress in four starts for Jessica Harrington in Ireland and was disappointing in last two runs; changed hands for 13,000gns last month; now switches to a handicap for new yard but has something to prove upped to this trip after a break.

Poorly drawn and endured a wide trip when last of 11 here last month, but ran well either side as when fourth of 11 in a slowly run contest at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) four weeks ago; both wins have come over C&D and he is back off the same mark as when taking this last year; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly who raised her game upped to 1m2f on handicap debut when scoring at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) ten days ago; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and she's open to more progress back on Tapeta; big player.

Form & Verdict
Won a Newcastle maiden (1m, Tapeta) and a Beverley handicap (1m2f) in the spring but he's been well held on AW and turf in his last three starts; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs a major revival with cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Made it seventh time lucky when landing a Chelmsford maiden (1m2f, AW) in June but she finished a well-held third of three back in a handicap at Yarmouth (1m) last time; this return to Tapeta is no problem but has bit to prove again after that last run and she's not really progressed so far.

Much better on the AW than on turf, her two wins both coming on Polytrack including over C&D last summer; just 1lb higher than when chasing home a subsequent winner at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in June and she could go well.

Two wins over this trip on Polytrack last year; another sound effort on AW when second at Newcastle (1m2f) last month but she had failed to beat a rival on turf on her two outings prior to that; has a 5lb lower mark on the grass but others are still preferred.

Form & Verdict
Came good with three wins in a row (two on Polytrack and one on turf) in the spring but his progress came to a halt at Haydock (1m) in May and was well held again at the same track (1m2f) last time; has some questions to answer on this switch to Tapeta and he's still 6lb higher than for last win.

Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally.

Ridden by Rossa Ryan (now on Kurios Lady) on last two starts, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f); they were on AW and he ran only once on turf last year, when a respectable third off this mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) last July but he needs better than that.

Form & Verdict
Went close at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) on his debut in April, but he's been well held in all three subsequent runs including a 1m2f handicap at Pontefract (good to firm) last month; still early days but he needs improvement on this return to AW.

Ex-Irish gelding; got off the mark at the eighth attempt with a 66-1 win in Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) in June but he flopped in his follow-up bid at Brighton; got pestered for the lead in that race but he has a very patchy profile and others are more convincing.
