Form & Verdict
Shaped well when fourth of 18 at the Curragh (6.5f, good) in June when trained by Daniel McLoughlin but he hung right when beaten in a match race on yard debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago; may come on for that effort and his dam won on soft ground; interesting.

Two wins from six starts for three different yards but he was disappointing in a 7f handicap at Thirsk (ninth of 13) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's untried on AW.

Lightly-raced 4yo; attracted support and made a perfect start for new connections when seeing off 14 rivals at Doncaster three weeks ago (7f, good to soft); 5lb higher in a better race but there was a lot to like about the way he responded to pressure last time; can do better.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win in six starts for Joseph O'Brien but he finished in the first three on four occasions, including on soft ground; didn't seem to have any obvious excuses when third of eight over this C&D (good to firm; odds-on favourite) on stable debut bar that being his first start for two months; off for another 46 days but the return to soft ground is no issue.

Back in form when second to Krissy over C&D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him.

16-race maiden who can be difficult to settle and was well beaten at Ripon (1m, good) last month on sole previous run beyond 7f; however, he kept on strongly for seventh of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) last time, suggesting this trip might be worth a go, and his mark continues to fall; visor removed.

0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers.

Lightly raced 4yo who is yet to score but has shown ability across his six starts; latest third of 11 at Chester (7.5f, soft; acts on quicker) was a respectable effort and it's impossible to say he's not capable of better.

Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham in April and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to shorter looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player.
