Form & Verdict
Exceed And Excel colt; had to settle for second when 5-4 favourite at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in July but it was a promising start from a wide draw; should benefit from that initial experience and he's a big player.

Six AW wins for Stuart Kittow including over C&D in his final run last season; returns for Zoe Hawkins after 238 days off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; market should be useful.

T: Stuart Kittow

Three of top five RPRs achieved here; shaped better than finishing position suggests at Southwell on Sunday and didn't get the breaks when fourth to Arctic Dawn the time before (C&D); won't really benefit from stall 1 given his style of racing and there isn't loads of pace on paper; wears just a tongue-tie.

All five wins have come over 7f on the AW, including here, but he has run well over this far; losing run up to 12, but has dropped to a fair mark (1lb higher than when last successful) and could sneak into the frame; visor now given a go.

Best effort from four attempts when a clear second at Bath in May, although he was beaten only a neck at Nottingham (also 5f, good) when last seen at the start of July; those runs put him firmly in the mix after ten weeks off; showed some promise on good to soft on his debut.

Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish.

At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better.

J: P J McDonald

T: Rod Millman

Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick.

100/30

Verdict

Several of these are open to improvement, notably the once-raced Godolphin colt Appointed One (second choice) and Tephi who was in front everywhere but the last few strides at Lingfield last month. However, they’ll certainly need to step up if they’re to beat an on-song WOOLHAMPTON and Rod Millman’s experienced filly is taken to gain a breakthrough success.[Richard O’Brien]
