Form & Verdict
1m maiden win as 2yo; consistent for minor honours in handicaps this year, four of them over about 7f (one on soft) and one over 1m; wore cheekpieces last two starts, with tongue-tie latest, and now has tongue-tie and blinkers; 5lb claimer is recruited; not at all clear that this first go at 6f will help him break the deadlock but it could be testing ground and he's respected as an in-form candidate.

Form & Verdict
Went close in a maiden on good to soft, unraced on worse; neck second of seven in a C&D handicap in first-time cheekpieces last month (5lb higher today); again had the headgear over 6f on good to firm when breaking his duck in a novice at Doncaster 13 days ago, doing it easily at 4-5; respected.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Philip Kirby

Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark.

J: Luke Morris

T: Philip Kirby

Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here.

9st 7lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Philip Kirby

His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Scored in good style on handicap debut on the other Newmarket course (6f, good; unraced on softer) in April; has not lived up to that, running respectably again in small fields here on last two outings but others are now higher up the list.

Form & Verdict
Saddle slipped as 2yo on sole start on softer than good; pretty useful as 2yo but, after wind surgery, she's finished down the field in Listed/Group events on all four runs (three at 1m, latest at 6f) this year; tongue tied on reappearance and today; wore cheekpieces last three starts but not for today's handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
First and second in two 6f handicaps before leaving the Charltons for 70,000gns in July; beaten a nose on Chelmsford AW on debut for new connections and made the most of an unchanged turf mark in tidy style with cheekpieces enlisted at Carlisle (6f, good; unraced on softer) yesterday; no headgear this time; good prospect, well treated under a penalty if he runs again today.

T: Michael Appleby

Overcame a wide trip to score at Kempton (AW) last week, benefiting from the return to this grade and belated step up to 7f; now 3-6 in Class 4 events and remains unexposed at this distance; 5lb penalty is largely offset by Frederick Larson's useful claim; respected.
