Form & Verdict
Won well in a novice event at Haydock in May; leapt forward again when second of ten in a Group 2 at Goodwood (again 7f on good; 22-1) 15 days ago, coming from the rear (despite hanging right) to go down by a head, and that makes him the clear form pick.

Never dangerous when 25-1 and some 5l behind Humidity at Newbury in May but found plenty on that form to win well at Haydock on the step up to 7f; others have achieved a lot more but he's a promising colt.

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

25-1 when 5l seventh of 18 on debut at Newbury (6f, good) a fortnight ago; there was promise in that performance, he's in top hands, and his pedigree suggests this extra furlong will be a plus; he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Won novice events at Newbury (6.5f, good) and Salisbury (7f, good to firm) on first two starts and beaten a head in Listed race at Ascot (7f, good) on latest; made most in all three; stuck to his task extremely well last time but Morris Dancer seems to demand something of a different order.

Has built up a solid record (1122) and posted the last two efforts at Listed level; beaten favourite, showing no further progress, at Salisbury (1m) latest but shaped as if this drop back in trip is needed.

A Bit Of Spirit

9st 5lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Clive Cox

Palace Pier colt who is two from two, having narrowly beaten Time To Turn at Newbury (6.5f, good) then justified short odds by a wider margin under a penalty at Salisbury (7f, good to firm); brings potential to this higher grade.

OR: 88

Form & Verdict
Followed three seconds (one on good to firm) by easily justifying favouritism in an Epsom maiden last month; fifth of eight in Listed race at Sandown (again 7f on good) three weeks ago was respectable, so she's building a record for reliability, but today's rivals look too tough for her.

Useful filly for Eve Johnson Houghton, readily made all in Epsom maiden (7f, good; Assaranca 4l second) in July; transferred to Neil Mulholland (same owners) but it was a low-key start when last of six in conditions race at Kempton (1m, AW) on her comeback in March; needs to put that behind her on this handicap debut.

Her eight 2yo runs for Eve Johnston Houghton yielded one win, a 7f maiden at Epsom in July; looked exposed as the season went on and improvement is needed on her stable/seasonal debut; remains in same ownership.
