Made all in Ayr maiden (5.5f, good) in July and has since run well in both nurseries (6f/5f, good), just a head behind Dandy Style last time; can make another bold bid if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground).

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling.

Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms.

Form & Verdict
Made all at Catterick (5f, good) on second start then mid-division in warm fillies' conditions race at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good); fared best of the four who were on the far side on nursery debut at Thirsk (5f, good) this month and attractive pedigree hints slow ground will suit; interesting.

Made all with hood added at Catterick (5f, good) on her second start and she ran well for a long way in useful conditions event at Glorious Goodwood (sixth of 11) last time; should have more to offer now switched to a nursery and this speedy filly needs a close look.

Too headstrong on debut but showed the benefit of a hood at Catterick (5f, good) where she made all; upped in class but this speedy sort may improve further in the retained headgear.

Form & Verdict
Close second of four on nursery debut over C&D (good) in July and could appreciate this drop back in trip; however, he was soundly beaten when fourth of seven here (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago and others arrive with more pressing claims.

Ran quite well over C&D in May and he is 7lb lower today; that is a result of two lacklustre efforts subsequently and connections now turn to cheekpieces; risky but not impossible.

A fair 5f juvenile winner; back to form with fourth in 5f Beverley handicap in May and didn't enjoy a smooth run (also stumbled 1f out) when sixth of seven at Pontefract (5f) last time; returns from a break in a competitive race and others may have his measure.

Made all at Thirsk (6f, good) in July on second start and fourth in warm novice there (6f, good) later that month; close third on nursery debut there (5f, good) last time and he showed promise on good to soft ground on his debut at Carlisle in May; every chance he'll be bang there.

Made all over 6f here on his second start and he ran into a subsequent Gimcrack (Group 2) winner when a respectable fourth here last time; those last two runs were under positive tactics and he looks interesting back at 5f on nursery debut.

Represents notable connections; gelded prior to close and rallying third at Musselburgh (good) in latest 5f start; open to progress now handicapping and looks ready for a crack at 6f; warrants respect.

Did too much up front on debut; couldn't quite get the job done when favourite at Redcar (5f, good to firm) since but ran well despite losing a shoe; subsequently gelded; one of the main form contenders.
