Form & Verdict
Slowly away both starts but did show significant improvement when closing in fast on a newcomer at Nottingham (5f maiden, good to soft; 33-1) under three weeks ago; there's no obvious reason as to why he can't build on that again with this a suitable-looking opportunity.

Improved with each 2yo start, winning a Yarmouth novice (5f, good to soft) in October; respectable fifth in handicaps at Sandown (5f, good) and Windsor (6f, good to firm) this year; this represents a slight ease in grade; likely to go well.

All runs at 5f; improved with each 2yo start, winning a Yarmouth novice (good to soft) in October; tapped for speed on his seasonal/handicap debut at Sandown in April, but he was keeping on well close home and the step up to 6f could prompt further progress; ground faster than good will be a first.

Built upon last September's debut (5f, AW) to go close at Nottingham (5f, good to soft), then went one better at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in October when last seen; he could do with breaking more professionally but he impressed last time and could have plenty more to offer; yard in good form.

Form & Verdict
115,000euros yearling; received a bump at the start but recovered to post a solid debut at Nottingham (5f, good to soft; 7-1) a fortnight ago; she's entitled to draw some benefit from that initial introduction to competitive action; rates as a key player.

Has reasonably consistent maiden/novice form; holds weaker claims on her two handicap efforts but this drop in grade may have positive effect; soft ground was a possible excuse last time.

Showed some promise when second on her first two starts (both 5f, good to soft) last season; not as good on her reappearance at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) or on handicap debut at Windsor (5f, good to firm) latest; each-way player if back to her best.

OR:

Form & Verdict
65,000gns yearling; ran green but still acquitted herself positively when third on Chelmsford debut (6f AW; 11-1) under three weeks ago; switch to turf is unlikely to inconvenience and there promises to be more to come; market helpful in assessing her chance.

Made all in 6f Leicester novice in October but no joy in four handicaps since, beaten over 7l into third when stepped up from 6f to 1m at Southwell 13 days ago; first-time cheekpieces are now added to the tongue-tie she wore at Southwell; yard won this last year.

Made all and just held on to win a Leicester novice (6f, soft) in October; no joy in three handicaps since but she made some late headway at Lingfield (6f, AW) on New Year's Eve and this new trip looks worth exploring; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Slow but steady progress across five starts (5f-7f); produced best effort when dropped to this trip (beaten a short-head) in a Leicester novice (good; 4-1) a fortnight ago; possibilities if replicating that, even if his three rivals are slightly less exposed.
