Made his breakthrough (sixth attempt) when coming from rear to justify support in a nursery at Epsom (7f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a clearcut success and he's open to more progress; shortlisted.

Hit traffic when making a promising debut in June; no progress but solid efforts the next twice, including when upped to 7f and second at Wolverhampton (AW) last time; didn't see it out as well as the winner that day and cheekpieces go on for this nursery debut; opening mark just fair but still respected.

Five-race maiden; showed encouragement when placed on her first three starts last summer but has finished last since in a couple of handicaps; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces and needs to return to form.

Form & Verdict
Modest form until she found a big chunk of improvement when stepped up to this trip and first of ten at Chepstow (14-1; made all) in July; raced freely when weakening into fourth at Newbury (also good to firm) on nursery debut three weeks ago; the type to bounce back.

Won a Chepstow maiden (7f, good to firm) for Jack Channon last July but she's not gone on from that and was beaten 13l on recent stable debut at Ascot (6f, good); drops back in grade off a reduced mark but record is now 1-9 and others are more convincing.

Looked sure to progress in nurseries after winning Chepstow maiden (7f, good to firm) in July so it was disappointing she went 0-5 when inconsistent in that sphere subsequently; left Jack Channon (same owners) after finishing last at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October; new yard going well but she'll need to bring her A-game to this return.

Slow learner but gradual improvement in three qualifying runs between 5f and 7f; gelded and didn't carry that progress over to his first nursery when fourth of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm; Gascony second, Booziebrunch fifth) one month ago; still didn't look the finished article that day and will likely cop on at some point; gets first-time tongue-tie and blinkers.

Looks a slow learner but gradual improvement in three qualifying runs between 5f and 7f, still green when seventh of 12 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; has been gelded and is the type to do much better in handicaps; interesting.

Blinkers helped last summer and they're on for the first time this season, after two fair efforts; more exposed than the rest of these but 1m on Polytrack is ideal and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Getting the hang of things and it was her best effort yet when fifth of eight in a Doncaster novice (7f, soft) three weeks ago; hasn't been seeing out 7f but maybe getting back on this forecast faster ground will help; doesn't look chucked in on nursery debut but probably capable of better again.
