Form & Verdict
Ready winner of a 1m4f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on his stable debut in April; heavy defeats twice since but they have come in the Lingfield Derby Trial and the Derby itself; has his sights lowered today and should be seen to better effect.

T: James Owen

Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him.

Landed a C&D maiden just over a year ago, but his form since then has been patchy; down another 3lb, but more needed if he is to resume winning ways.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: James Owen

Sole victory came over C&D but he has failed to beat a rival on his last two runs, gelded before coming in last of 9 at Kempton (1m4f) on his return three weeks ago; hard to warm to.

Form & Verdict
2-2 in handicaps, easily winning over an extended 1m2f at Chester in May and defying a 7lb rise over the same C&D two weeks later; latest 6lb rise asks a stiffer question but the latest win has been franked by the second and he should be fine over the new trip; high on the list.

Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May and finished a good third over C&D 16 days later; no match for Topteam at Chester 19 days ago though and a 7lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough.

Three wins over 1m2f last season; unplaced twice this year but dropped 4lb for his troubles and this represents an ease in grade; stamina for 1m5f not assured.

Went up the weights having won three times last year, including C&D (good to firm) in May; unplaced on final start last term and same story on recent reappearance, but he may have needed that latest run and is not ruled out.

Front-runner who won on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last May and scored twice in a row at Pontefract (1m2f good/good to firm) last summer; unplaced on final run last year and has to prove his current mark is within range, but he might be the type to continue to progress this season.

Form & Verdict
Finished third to Topteam at Chester last month and showed better form when fourth at Sandown 19 days ago; looks ready for 1m4f and could still have more to offer.

Underwhelming fifth of six on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW), but he was wide early and may have needed the run; progressive on turf last season for William Haggas and he could tap back into that promise and play a leading role today.
