Showed some promise when sixth on Goodwood debut (6f, good) but she's taken three backward steps since and was last of eight on recent nursery debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW); has something to prove and she needs a transformation back on turf.

Showed some promise when sixth on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) but not so good in two starts since (reported to have hung right on both occasions); now switches to AW for handicap debut and she is closely related to a winner over 1m at this track.

J: Luke Morris

Showed some promise with her sixth-place finish, despite being hindered by an awkward start, at Goodwood (6f, good); disappointing favourite, hanging right, at Newbury (good to firm) since but it's too soon to write her off; may still do better.

Form & Verdict
No progress in five starts but he's run respectably in two nurseries, more recently when fifth of 12 at Newbury (7f, good) 18 days ago; cheekpieces are now added and he could get involved if he can find some extra spark back in trip.

Took form to new level when winning twice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) this summer, but had to settle for third there a fortnight ago and will need to kick on again to overcome this mark.

Has found improvement from somewhere to go back-to-back here and it was by nearly 4l last time; hit with an 8lb rise but something has clicked; seems fine on all surfaces.

Form & Verdict
Won a Catterick nursery (6f, good to soft) in July; not seen to quite the same effect in three subsequent runs but she chased home an improver here (5.3f) last time and this return to slower ground looks a positive; in the mix back up in trip.

Course winner at 6f among three successes in a busy 2yo season; inevitably thoroughly exposed but two of his better efforts for this yard have come on this course and he should make a go of it back here.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in her qualifying runs but she looked a different proposition on nursery debut when landing a gamble over C&D (good; 11-8 favourite) last month; up 4lb for that success but she showed a good attitude to beat Could Be The Move and is open to more progress; all of her runs have been on good/good to firm but she's a half-sister to some soft ground winners.

Just the one win from 15 starts, gained over 6f on good ground; however, last week's C&D run was the second time she's finished runner-up on soft and a repeat won't see her far away.

Yet to win this season but went close here (7.3f, good) last month and was denied a clear run when fifth of 11 at Bath (1m, good) nine days ago; also ran well the only time she encountered soft ground (unraced on heavy); can make her presence felt.

Generally disappointing this season but lost out by only a head off her basement mark at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) three weeks ago and is probably worth another crack at 1m; contender if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
0-6 but she ran her best race so far when a front-running second behind Arvana Belle over C&D 15 days ago; has a 3lb swing in the weights with her old rival and she could make another bold bid; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.
