Form & Verdict
Bids for a hat-trick after an easy win in a Chelmsford maiden (7f, Polytrack) in August and a closer call on nursery debut at Epsom (7f, good) the following month, making all both times; up 3lb, but dangerous if left alone in front and the extra furlogng should be no problem.

Finished last on stable debut here in September, although that was his first run on slow turf; he shaped a couple of times over 7f for Marco Botti as though this trip may be a good fit and he did win a nursery off 5lb higher.

Won Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) last August before making a winning handicap debut over C&D (good) five weeks later; last seen finishing a below-form third of seven at Leicester in July, after which he left Marco Botti for 34,000gns and was gelded; mark fine and he's of interest, particularly if the market speaks positively.

Form & Verdict
Left his two turf performances well behind when winning a novice here (7f) last month; subsequent wins by the second and third give the form substance and stepping up a furlong should be no problem on nursery debut; much respected.

Record of 2-2 on AW; 0-5 on turf but ran well in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m) when last seen, while shaping as if this return to 1m2f is well worth exploring; sold out of Tom Dascombe's yard for 215,000gns since; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively.

7f/1m AW wins late last year; given every chance when 3l behind Laureate Crown at Sandown two runs back (1m, good) and then failed to make any impression in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup; pulling hard was the last thing he needed when upped to 1m2f in the latter but it wasn't the ideal preparation for this tough a test.

Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims.

Form & Verdict
Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when off the mark in a five-runner Redcar nursery (1m, good) 16 days ago; up 4lb, but a greater concern may be that she proved a disappointing favourite over this C&D the time before.

Form & Verdict
0-6 for Richard Hannon, though she has shown ability as when second of 14 in a Lingfield nursery (7f, Polytrack) last time; makes her debut for her new yard having since changed hands for £13,500; the trip should be no problem, but she does need to find a bit more.
