Clear signs of ability in three novice runs at up to 1m; disappointing if this 295,000gns yearling couldn't do better now handicapping at a low level; up in trip with cheekpieces fitted; betting to guide.

Much improved gelding who won recent handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Brighton (1m, good to firm) with quite a bit left in the tank; has a 12lb penalty to shoulder but still commands respect.

In cheekpieces the last twice; pushed the long odds-on favourite close on his handicap debut (1m2f, good to firm) and then won as he liked at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (8.6f); looks well in with the penalty and this 295,000gns yearling could easily rate much higher.

J: Mr Henry Callan

T: George Boughey

Made a long odds-on favourite work for it, despite having raced freely in a small field, on his handicap debut (1m2f; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; this 295,000gns yearling remains open to improvement and is high on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Promise in novice/maiden company but he has finished out of the places in both handicaps (5-4f for nursery debut); cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; up to 1m2f for the first time with a point to prove.

J: Connor Planas

Expensive to follow since handicapping and is back on the Flat after one try over hurdles late last month (well held); having his first crack at beyond 1m2f and has stamina to prove (dam was best at around 1m).

Nine-race Flat maiden but was placed and had a similar level of form in that sphere to Salkadan; could go well on hurdling debut and Sean Bowen is 7-14 for the yard.

Neck ahead of Fille Imbassee on identical terms when third over C&D last month (good to firm); appeal undiminished by Ffos Las blowout since, when not taking to soft ground; 2lb badly in.

Form & Verdict
1m AW win for Marco Botti in January; promising start for new stable in March but backward steps twice since and she was well beaten on her turf debut last month; others are stronger.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Julie Camacho

Made all to land a three-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in June; collared inside the final furlong when trying to adopt the same tactics in another small field over the same C&D last month and it remains to be seen if she can dictate in this bigger field.

Switched to turf for last three starts and best of those when winning under Tom Kiely-Marshall over C&D (good to firm) on latest, albeit in a three-runner race; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field.

Still finding her level on turf, but only a neck behind Zooter when fourth in a C&D 0-70 latest (good to firm), the new trip no issue; bit more needed despite slight ease in grade; trainer took this last year.

Form & Verdict
He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals.

Two AW wins to his name but his turf form isn't quite of the same standard; modest fourth over C&D last week and he is due to be 2lb lower from the weekend.

Dual AW winner but he's yet to score on turf and his fair effort at Windsor (1m) in June was sandwiched by two moderate ones at 1m2f; return to this trip is a positive and there's nothing wrong with his mark but others hold more pressing claims.

Consistent record on AW features two wins; has failed to transfer that form back to turf in last two starts, taking record in this sphere to 0-7; something to prove.
