Impressive winner over 7f on Southwell AW reappearance; made favourite for a good 7f Newbury handicap since, when 6lb well in under a penalty, but failed to get into the action soon enough, finishing second to a more prominently ridden winner (May Angel just behind); still has potential despite running off his new mark and this stiff 7f can suit.

Fairly useful form as a 2yo, including winning debut, but took his form to a new level with a runaway success at Southwell (7f, AW) on return 12 days ago; this is a stronger race but he is 6lb well in under the penalty and the money that came for him at Southwell strongly suggested he was thought to be smart; stall 1 is a potential query but lots to like otherwise.

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.

Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid.

Made all in Wolverhampton maiden (7f, AW) to take her 2yo record to 321; likely to be as effective back down in distance; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps for her major connections; attractively weighted near the bottom of the card and is one for the shortlist.

Ready winner of a 7f novice at Southwell on his second start; came up short in two Group 3 events afterwards (tried in a hood on second occasion); he has since undergone wind and gelding operations; hard pressed to describe him as well handicapped on what we have seen but the surgeries could unlock more.
