Form & Verdict
Made it 3-7 when suited by the step up to 6f and winning on nursery debut at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft; unraced on softer), and another big run when third of 21 in a sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last month; there could still be mileage in his mark and he's one to consider.

Won at Ripon (5f, good) in June on third run then finished last when 66-1 at Royal Ascot; absent since and unraced on slow ground and beyond 5f, but has shown enough to hint he may have potential off this opening mark.

Ran his best race of the year when third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, his first run after a gelding operation; regular slow starts aren't ideal and the switch to blinkers isn't enough to earn him the vote.

Form & Verdict
Newmarket trainer won this last year; short-headed at Windsor (6f, good) in July on second nursery start then went one better at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft); however, he failed to make an impact at Doncaster (6f, good) only last Friday and has to leave that run behind.

A fairly useful 6f winner as 2yo for Karl Burke; yet to show that form in three runs for his current yard but there were better signs with sixth of 11 over C&D two weeks ago; the eyeshield and tongue-strap worn there are retained, and he's not out of things off a 2lb lower mark.

Form & Verdict
Won Hamilton maiden (6f, good to soft) last month on fourth start and returned to form when back on slow ground in a nursery at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) this month, prevailing by just over 1l; could continue to progress and he's a possible player up 6lb for last time.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to firm) last month, and after finishing down the field at York he was a close third of six at Chester (7f, good) this month; however, this exposed colt is probably vulnerable now back up in grade; unraced on slow ground.

His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess.

Built upon the promise of his debut fourth (6f, good) to win over this C&D (good) last month, and he followed up in a novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm); he's done it in good style on those last two starts and his pedigree suggests slow ground will suit; firmly in calculations on nursery debut.
