Form & Verdict
Well beaten on both starts, most recently third of four at Hamilton (6f, good) where he reared in the stalls before the start and weakened quickly; improvement needed but the drop back in trip could help, as could the first-time hood, and he cost £200,000 at the breeze-ups in April.

Lacked the pace to challenge when third at Lingfield (5f; 15-2, beaten approx 3l) on penultimate start, and failed to figure after dwelling when upped to 6f back there latest; has dropped to his last winning mark (Yarmouth, 5f), so the task isn't insurmountable.

£32,000 yearling, 48,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; tenth foal; closely related to 6f 2yo winner Hubert (RPR 78); dam 5.7f 2yo winner (92), out of 1m3f winning half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 1 winner Mus-If; trainer's 2yos have been running well and this Kodi Bear newcomer could have a part to play.

Debut course winner (5f maiden) as a juvenile; gelded over the winter and hasn't done badly (374) since introduced to handicapping; didn't appear to be at home on the track when beaten favourite (fourth) at Chester latest; the handicapper is slowly relenting.

Form & Verdict
10-1 when third behind easy winner on debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, when he had to wait for a clear run; this 110,000gns yearling is out of a Listed winner and he could take a sizeable step forward today at a track where his trainer is 5-12 with 2yos in the last five years.

Well beaten on last month's debut at Beverley (5f) but on soft ground and he raced alone on the near side; he was sent off at just 4-1 and it will be interesting to see if his backers return; wears a first-time tongue-tie; no surprise if he's an entirely different proposition.

Five-race maiden who has been beaten at odds of 9-5, 8-13 and evens on his last three starts; however, this consistent sort has still shown good form and it's much better than today's rivals have achieved; wears first-time cheekpieces; today could be the day.

Dual 6f AW novice winner who was competing in just her third handicap when posting a career best for second at Southwell (6f, AW) off this mark four weeks ago; needs to carry that progress back to turf but she's unexposed and likely capable of better again.
