Form & Verdict
Has led; all four starts on AW and similar form when third in 7f maidens the last twice, latterly at Southwell in February; dam was a 1m-1m2f winner, including three times on turf, and this 3yo now makes her debut on this surface in her first handicap; should give it a good go.

Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh.

Better since handicapping on turf, improving a touch on her small-field Brighton win when a close third in a Salisbury handicap that's working out well; no issues with 7f, though, and needs more again back down to sprinting.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning reappearance when landing a Lingfield AW maiden (1m; made all) in a first-time hood (retained) at the start of this month, despite displaying an awkward head carriage; had form over 7f on good to firm ground last year and she warrants respect on her handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Tends to race prominently; all starts on AW; knocking on the door prior to getting off the mark at the ninth attempt, when doing well to win from the widest stall at Wolverhampton (7f) this month; up 4lb now and he dwelt that day (not for the first time) but there may be more to come from him.

Won twice over 7f on AW in February and seemed to have emerged from worrying slump in form when sixth at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) this month; needs to build on that effort but is on a good mark and 1m also suits.

Form & Verdict
Disappointing favourite at Nottingham on this month's handicap/stable debut (slowly away) and again safely held when his backers deserted him at Epsom (also 1m, good; 66-1) last week; this race is easier but he's got a bit to prove now and cheekpieces are given a go.

Two wins, including C&D, this summer; three defeats at Epsom have followed August's 7f win there but he is back to a winning mark and this is an ease in grade; not discounted.

Hold-up performer who gained his second success at this track when getting up late over 7f last month (good to firm); stuck at it for fourth here ten days ago (again 7f; good to soft) and should have this run to suit on his return to 1m; strongly considered.
