J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Muir & Chris Grassick

Never-dangerous fifth at Kempton (1m, AW) on handicap debut earlier in the month and ran respectable when third of 12 at Bath (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces; beaten around 9l) after stumbling leaving the stalls; steps up in distance.

Well held in all four runs including when a never-dangerous fifth on recent nursery debut at Kempton (1m, AW); still early days but he needs improvement with cheekpieces added back on turf.

Not beaten far on second or third starts but he's not made a serious impact since in his two handicaps (probably stayed 1m2f last time); this is his first turf race since debut.

J: Saffie Osborne

Failed to build on earlier promise when coming in last of nine on his handicap debut at Kempton (1m) 20 days ago; went freely there so has his stamina to prove over this longer trip.

Gwens Girl

9st 1lb

J: Dougie Costello

T: Mark Walford

Made a promising start when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) in September but she's struggled in three subsequent runs including on handicap/seasonal debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) last month; still unexposed but she weakened quickly last time and has plenty to prove.

J: Jack Garritty

Kept on for second on debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) last September; two lesser runs followed (6f/1m, AW/good) but she retains potential in view of that initial promise, and she's not ruled out on handicap/seasonal debut.

Big prices and soundly beaten in 7f turf maiden and an AW novice (1m) for Michael Keady as 2yo; gelded since; handicaps will be more suitable.

Progressive form since switched to handicaps this season, though he hung and idled in front before being caught post when a short-head second of eight to Vietnorm at Ripon (1m2f) 22 days ago; 1lb better off here so big shout.

Unexposed gelding who ran into some trouble before finishing well for fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f; tongue-tie added) 11 days ago; looks interesting off the same mark and this drop back in trip should be fine on pedigree (half-brother to two winners at up to 9.5f).
