Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden who has not finished closer than 4l to a winner including in five handicaps at up to 1m6f; mark is sliding and he made some late headway at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) last time, but he needs a more dynamic effort on this step back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark (22nd attempt) in a Newcastle handicap (1m4f) last October; finished placed on AW in three of her next five runs before a clearcut win in 1m4f classified event at Southwell (cheekpieces added) in March; returns from a break but she looks worth another try at this trip and has possibilities back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Started his career with two wins at Lingfield (1m, AW) three winters ago but he's 0-14 since and has finished well adrift in all starts this year; mark continues to fall but has a lot to prove at this new trip; another change of headgear.

Won off 9lb higher at Ayr (1m5f, good) last September but he's generally struggled in nine runs since and was beaten around 9l when third at Catterick (2m, soft) last time; drops back in trip but he's untried on AW and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
His sole win from 28 starts under both codes was in 2019 but he went very close over 1m6f at Redcar (good to firm; 12-1) two weeks ago; nudged up 2lb but he ran well on Tapeta (2m) on his penultimate run and is respected back on AW.

Came from poor position for very respectable fifth behind Pateen at Hexham (2m, good) in May but is yet to add to his Flat maiden win in 2019 and comes here after a poor Flat run three weeks ago; cheekpieces refitted today; should cope if the ground softens but others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record but he's won two of his last three starts, including over C&D in June and at Ayr (1m5f, good) two weeks ago; that last win was in a tight three-way finish but he battled well under Jessica Llewellyn and is only 2lb higher here; big player again back on Tapeta.
