J: Luke Morris

Showed clear promise in novice/maiden events for Andrew Balding in the spring but he's struggled at big prices in three handicaps for current yard; still unexposed but he needs a transformation with tongue-tie added.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Joseph Parr

All starts at 7f; showed ability in the last two of his three runs for Andrew Balding but was beaten 20l on his handicap/stable debut in May; subsequently rested and has been gelded in the interim; unexposed and he's worth a market check.

Both starts on AW, finishing second to useful sort in 7f event at Wolverhampton and a fading third over 1m at Southwell; possibilities with this drop back in trip looking favourable.

One of the youngsters in this field and he's had just four races, below-form sixth of 14 last time on handicap debut at Windsor (6f; 15-2); earlier efforts, including on Tapeta, means he can't be dismissed.

Gelded after finishing fifth of eight on his turf debut over 7f at Newmarket in April; opening mark looks reasonable and this experiment at sprinting is well worth a go too; interesting.

Front-running third of seven in autumn maiden (6.5f, soft) that wasn't particularly deep by usual Newbury standards; however, may still show improvement this year.

Well backed and went down only narrowly on stable debut at Sandown (1m, good) ten days ago, just reeled in after leading over 2f out; just as effective over 7f; up 3lb but Conor Whiteley can claim a handy 5lb.

Best effort when keeping-on third over 7f here (good) in June, his second handicap; sold out of Richard Hannon's yard for 25,000gns this month; the way he kept on here last time suggests the return to 1m may help; leading claims with new stable among the winners.

Best effort when third of seven in a Leicester novice (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't appear to stay on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) a fortnight later; frame possibilities back over this trip.
