Form & Verdict
Useful sprinting pedigree but he's gone off at triple-figure prices for both 6f starts and been beaten about 10l each time; drops to 5f with plenty to find and will be bearing down on ordinary handicaps soon.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a ready win at Redcar (6f, good) 11 days ago, strong at the finish; up 5lb in a higher grade but he's not fully exposed just yet.

Ran his best race to date when keeping on for third in a 0-55 handicap at Redcar ten days ago (6f, good), racing further away from the stands' rail than the pair to beat him; still has some potential in minor sprint handicaps and he is more appealing than many.

Form & Verdict
Can lead; beaten favourite on last three outings but he's run to a useful level in all his 5f starts on good and good to firm ground (in cheekpieces latest, retained) and has strong form claims again today.

Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly.

Has a largely solid record and may remain competitive despite taking an 8lb hike for an emphatic success, having bossed a small field, at Redcar (5f, good) last Saturday; good third of 13 over C&D the time before and doesn't necessarily need to dominate.

Ended his time with Harry Charlton with a C&D novice win (good) last September and solid placed efforts on three of four starts for new yard this season, including third of 13 at York (5f, good) eight days ago; this is less competitive and he's the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Minor promise when fifth of nine on Lingfield debut (5f) in June and at 14-1 he wasn't one of the outsiders for a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f) last month, never near the leaders but still looked to have some potential; may well fare a lot better in an easier race.

String of solid efforts in the tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination prior to a poor one last time; that came on turf, though, and he'll be happier back on the AW and over an easy 6f, plus he's well drawn for one happiest up front for a yard in fine form of late.

Firmly on the up for his new stable, making all at Catterick before narrowly denied by Rotokura Belle over C&D; back to winning ways with a Newcastle success 15 days ago (much more convincing than the neck margin might suggest); up 6lb in a better race but he's a speedy and progressive 3yo who commands major respect.

Promise for Adrian Nicholls and plenty to spare when making all in a 5f handicap at Catterick on stable debut; bettered that form when neck second (Yellow Diamond 4l behind in fourth) of 13 at York (5f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on well despite losing his left cheekpiece approaching the final furlong; raised another 5lb but the third, Schrodinger's Cat, won easily at Redcar on Saturday; should have a big say on AW debut.

Promising start when runner-up to a much more experienced rival at Beverley (5f, good to firm), keeping on nicely, but he pulled hard when upped to 6f at Hamilton last month and others found more late on; the return to 5f can suit and he shouldn't be far away.

Three promising runs in sprint maiden/novice events, showing his best form when chasing home a 78-rated rival at Redcar six weeks ago (5f, good); a repeat of that form would give him leading claims here; promise on good to soft, unraced on slower.

The form of her debut fourth of seven at York (5f, good to firm; 20-1) has worked out and she might have found the stiff finish at Hamilton against her next time, albeit behind a useful rival; might be better off on this track but improvement needed.

Could only manage fourth of eight on her 5f Redcar handicap debut (good) in October but the fact she went off the 13-8 favourite suggests better was anticipated; remains unexposed and it'll be interesting to see if there's money for her again back from six months off.
