Form & Verdict
Struggled in bumpers/maiden and novice races on his first five starts but the switch to middle-distance handicaps sparked a good jolt of improvement three weeks ago, finding only the red-hot favourite too strong over 1m4f here; 2m should be within range and he has a top amateur booked; obvious chance of going one better.

Very lightly raced 7yo who won here (2m, good) in May and at Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; returned to form with good third at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last time and he's a possible contender.

Lightly raced 7yo who won at Musselburgh (2m, good) in May and Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; however, he seemed to find the trip too sharp over C&D (good) in between and ran poorly over 2m when favourite at Musselburgh on Friday.

Improved for the switch to handicaps this year, making all for wins over C&D and at Ayr (1m7f, soft); there could well be more in the tank and he's a strong contender despite his latest 4lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly; took a while to get the hang of things but she took a good step forward when upped to 1m6f and fitted with a hood at Southwell three weeks ago, running out the 7l winner of a 0-55 event; up 10lb and has another 2f to travel today but surprising if she has reached her ceiling yet.

Shaped well when keeping on from well off the pace in a 1m handicap at Kempton last month; ridden more positively upped to 1m2f at Chelmsford 15 days ago and a reluctance to settle contributed to her weak finishing effort; dropped 3lb and still not fully exposed.

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.
