A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to form upped to 1m on last two starts, with an excellent second at Ripon (1m, good; probably acts on soft) on latest; by a sprinter out of 1m6f winner; others perhaps are a little less exposed.

T: Tom Dascombe

Sprung a 16-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); two lesser efforts have followed but he faced a stiff task back at 6f at York's Ebor meeting three weeks ago; some encouragement for 1m on dam's side of pedigree but he's by a sprinter and it remains to be seen if he'll see it out, especially were the ground to deteriorate markedly.

Beaten in six non-handicaps and more consistent than progressive, with cheekpieces not helping matters last time; should give her running once more but doesn't look obviously well treated.

Didn't get the breaks when runner-up on debut over C&D (good to firm) but no excuses when second again on her subsequent three starts, all around this trip on good ground; starting to frustrate but she's impossible to ignore once more.

Disappointing at 5-4 for handicap debut (1m, good) to end last season and reappearance in Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f, AW) wasn't his best form either, albeit providing the most resistance to a 1-2 favourite and 5l clear of the rest; return to 1m might help and cheekpieces are enlisted.

Shaped with promise when fourth at York (7f, good) and Ripon (1m, good to firm) last summer; failed to build on those efforts on his handicap debut at the latter track in September and has been off since; this longer trip isn't guaranteed to suit on his AW debut but holds solid form claims.

Mainly consistent in six starts as a 2yo without appearing to progress, going closest when beaten a head in a Salisbury seller (7f, heavy) in September; returns from six months off and will need to step up, especially from his wide draw; stable also runs Kameko Fever.

Finished held in fifth last September in her two nurseries (8.4f/1m); however, she showed signs of promise previously and, being by Waldgeist, the step up in trip may well prove to be a positive move on her reappearance, for which she wears first-time cheekpieces.
