Form & Verdict
Well held in first three starts but he looked a different proposition on nursery debut when landing the odds at Ffos Las (6f, good) on Tuesday; has a penalty in this deeper race but he made virtually all for that comfortable success and is open to more progress; big player for yard that won this last year.

Dual C&D winner in late spring; in good form since and run best ignored (poorly drawn) when last of 11 over C&D two weeks ago; needs considering.

Gained a second C&D success in fine style in May; hiked up 10lb but not discredited after a three-month layoff when in the frame at Southwell (7f) and Chester (7.5f) since; this front-runner is very much one to consider back here but has the outside draw.

Five-race maiden who has not progressed so far and was third of four in a Lingfield nursery (6f, good to soft) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race but he needs improvement on this return to quicker ground.

He had been consistent, rather than progressive, prior to a flop at Doncaster 17 days ago; this is uncompetitive but the drop back in distance isn't sure to be in his favour.

Brother to a fair sprint winner; struggled in two of his three qualifying runs but he showed ability when fourth of ten at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on second start; this is more realistic on nursery debut and he needs checking in market back up in trip.

Ran well at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last August, beaten under one length into fourth in a nursery off an 8lb higher mark than today's; no progress since and he needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him.

Improver from low base in maiden/novice company, not beaten far at Lingfield (6f, AW) last time despite seemingly unsuited by the sharp track; been gelded since and has claims if he can take another step with forward with headgear added on nursery debut; withdrawn after getting loose at Ffos Las on Tuesday and was 9-1 at the time.

Has led; 0-9 but he only just failed to hang on in an AW handicap (6f) on final 2yo start and he's run two good races over 7f (good and soft) for new connections this year; very likely to go well back over 6f.

Well held in all five runs, including two 6f nurseries (good/good to firm); his last run may have come too soon but he failed to beat a rival at York and a first-time visor didn't seem to work; plenty to prove.

Ran close to the pick of the form that got him handicapped when a rallying third of five on nursery debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; had some traffic issues in that race and he looks interesting on this step back up in trip.

Pacey filly; has gone well for Jack Nicholls at Thirsk (6f; runner-up) and Beverley (5f; third); seemingly hung her chance away at Beverley but returning to this sharper track (even over 6f) could prove a better fit; likely to give her running and have a say.
