Form & Verdict
Kept on for second of four on debut at Hamilton (6f, good) last month and went one better at Thirsk (7f, good to firm); now carries a 6lb penalty against some interesting opponents but his pedigree provides optimism he'll be capable of better still; strong claims.

Creditable sixth to Startled at York last week but finished out of the first two for the first time and failed to show further progress; that defeat suggests he's not the percentage call in another competitive field.

Doesn't seem totally straightforward but he has a solid record (2122) and may do better still; gelded prior to good effort behind Passing Thought at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut; in the mix.

Delivered on debut promise when winning Thirsk novice (7f, good to firm) last August and probably bettered that form when second in a quite valuable Ayr race (7f, soft) a few weeks later; makes handicap debut after seven-month absence (gelded in the autumn) but should have more to offer.

Comes with a degree of risk having been turned over at odds of 1-8 in Pontefract maiden (1m) on seasonal debut, extending his seconditis; otherwise again sets a useful standard on his Group 3 effort at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; siblings include a 1m2f winner.

Form & Verdict
15-2 when sixth of nine, beaten just over 4l, on recent debut at Haydock (1m, good); considerable improvement is needed today but he's a 200,000gns yearling who represents a powerful 2yo trainer; monitor the betting.

Has contested four 1m4f handicaps this season and won twice in small fields on the AW, latterly despite veering badly right; 22-1 for red-hot race at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on latest outing but finished strongly for sixth of 19, which looked promising for today's test off 2lb higher.

Pontefract 1m2f winner (soft) as 2yo; contested three 1m4f handicaps this season and came a creditable third at Chester (good) in between winning twice in small fields on AW; latest win was despite veering badly right, away from the whip; up 4lb and, although he may have more in the tank, this race looks so much harder.

Rounded off his 2yo campaign with a game 1m2f win at Pontefract (soft), after which he was gelded; made all to beat his sole opponent in a Southwell match (1m4f) last month but he could manage only third behind that reopposing rival at Chester (a solid effort nevertheless) three weeks ago; still capable of better; trainer also saddles High Storm.

Well-backed winner at Ayr (7f, soft) last September on sole 2yo start and made it 2-2 in Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, AW) last month, again doing it cosily; has potential off his opening mark and the booking of Ryan Moore is a bonus.

Has made serious progress since dropped to 6f, following an easy maiden win with an impressive handicap debut at Hamilton; ran off 10lb higher in a better York race (good) in June and he did really well to be a close second to Thunder Call who was slightly better positioned; upped another 4lb but closely matched with the winner; on the premises.

Beaten over 7f on first six starts before bolting up at 1-16 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) last month; built on that promise when impressive in 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) nine days later; in a higher grade this afternoon off 10lb higher but that rise might not stop him.

Failed to beat a horse home in three starts last year; gelded since and has been a completely different proposition since returning this month, winning two classified events at Yarmouth (1m/1m2f, soft) and one at Wolverhampton AW on Tuesday night; looks open to more progress and he has leading claims.

Modest maiden who wasn't discredited in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of nine in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; needs to build on it if she's to gain a first win at the seventh attempt.

Has gone rather backwards since a good autumn effort on AW, disappointing favourite on handicap debut (7f) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new trip and first-time headgear.
