Sets the standard on his second-place finishes over 6f and the latest effort, at Hamilton, suggests this drop in trip is worth exploring; likely to go one better.

3yo who has been inconsistent across his four handicap starts but he ran well when 2l second of six at Chester (5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and could be involved.

Promise as a 2yo and his seasonal return at Thirsk was encouraging too; not at his best at Musselburgh 15 days ago but he is edging down the weights.

Has a couple of 5f 2yo winners on dam's side; only sixth of seven in Hamilton maiden over this trip but seemed to need the run; may improve.

Front-runner; off the mark at the 21st attempt when beating six rivals in a 5f handicap at Southwell in July; no progress since and this stiff track isn't sure to play to her strengths.

Speedy filly who finally broke her duck in a C&D handicap in July; two creditable efforts have followed and she shouldn't be too far away.

Knocking on the door prior to getting off the mark at the 21st attempt at Southwell last month (5f, AW; made all); again ran well from the front when third of eight at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last Thursday; she should be fine back on turf and could prove difficult to reel in.

2,200euros foal, 3,000euros yearling, 12,000gns 2yo; closely related to a Swedish 6f scorer; has some useful winners on dam's side; market instructive on debut.

Knocking firmly at the door prior to winning Chester novice (6f, good) this month and followed up in seller over this C&D (good); unproven on slow ground and further improvement is needed now back in a nursery under a penalty, but this front-runner is in top form and could make another bold bid.

In the frame all seven starts (5f-6f), including five second-place finishes; gave it a good shot from the front at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago and has the ideal draw from which to attack here; big player.

No Nay Never filly has gone with some encouragement in her three outings to date, racing freely when third of five in 5f Hamilton maiden 20 days ago; can't be discounted on her nursery debut.

Held in fourth in both runs and latest was in a four-runner race at Musselburgh (5f, good), but she wasn't beaten far and that was a major step forward from her debut effort; this is no easy task against Utmost Respect but she's second best on the figures and is open to more progress.
