Form & Verdict
Ran well in all three starts last year, making a successful debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) and going down by half a length to a subsequent winner in a four-runner Doncaster nursery (7f, heavy) on her final outing; out of an AW winner and worth a second look if ready to go after 162 days off.

3yo who won a handicap here (7f, good) in May and has run well in Listed and Group 3 races over 1m subsequently; down the field in a Group 2 at Newmarket three weeks ago but he was slowly away and detached early; not ruled out back in a handicap.

Likeable sort who is having a good year, his two 7f handicap wins in the spring followed by a Listed-race second (good to firm) in July; finished on the heels of Persica and The Lost King when fifth in Haydock Group 3 (also 1m, heavy) three weeks ago; that came after a mini-break and he'll be fine back on better ground; has something to find on the figures but can go close.

Lightly raced at two and a sharp improver this season, initially in 7f handicaps and latterly holding his own in a 1m Listed race at the July meeting (good to firm), beating all bar subsequent Group 3 winner Shayem; this is tougher again and what he'll make of slower ground is open for debate, but unlikely they've reached the ceiling with him.

Justified skinny odds on his Pontefract debut (6f, good to firm) last August and ran well on turf afterwards, but having been gelded has been well held in two starts on the AW since returning in January; needs a resurgence over the extra furlong.

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

Landed a Windsor novice (6f, good) last summer but faced impossible tasks in most of her other starts; probably found the trip too sharp when fifth of nine on nursery debut here (5f; first-time blinkers) in October, but still has enough to prove back from 163 days off.

Often highly tried last year; generally consistent in handicaps this season, off a sliding mark, but finding the right trip seems to be an issue, with her going up from 1m to 1m2f last time, and now dropping to 6f; blinkers are given a second try.

Won two of her first three starts as a juvenile but she went off the boil in the autumn and has been disappointing this year, including in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago; declining mark and a visor is given a whirl but only market support would make her of interest.
