Form & Verdict
Bumper (Tapeta) and dual hurdle winner who was the subject of market interest on her Flat debut at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm; Belgravian second) three weeks ago, before being beaten just over 3l; this is another moderate maiden and she might be capable of better; Polytrack debut.

Bumper/hurdle winner; made Flat debut in April and she's going the right way, second on her handicap debut at Haydock (11.5f) in July before winning at Newmarket six weeks ago (1m4f, good to soft; made all); other pace influences on show but a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond her.

Mixed form this April-June across her first three Flat starts, but she's shown promise and this bumper and two-time hurdle winner now goes handicapping in this code off a fair mark; not discounted.

Mildly progressive in her first three bumpers before being well beaten at 125-1 in a Grade 2 at Aintree last month; now makes her Flat/AW debut in a race that won't take the world of winning.

Took a good step forward from his Windsor debut when third of 11, beaten 3l, in a course novice (again over 1m) last term; big step up in trip for this reappearance but his pedigree offers plenty of hope for it and he had subsequent winners in front and behind him last time; interesting.

Second on Chelmsford Polytrack in latest AW race; tremendous progress last year once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; improvement stalled at Newmarket in the Cesarewitch Trial and Cesarewitch itself on last two outings, but he remains of major interest on this return.

Since sent handicapping in cheekpieces he's delivered form figures of 12111 and has looked seriously progressive since upped to 2m, again winning as he liked last time at Goodwood (good to firm); handicapper didn't hold back with a 10lb rise but that might not halt his progress.

Form & Verdict
Well-held seventh on his debut here (1m) in December and was withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls on his return visit in March; gelded subsequently and he showed what he could do when second of nine in a hood at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; 66-1 again) 17 days ago; up in trip once more, with no hood this time, but that last run just about sets the standard.
