Unraced on firmer than good except when well beaten on debut; highly progressive in handicaps and won at Windsor (11.4f, good) and Chester (10.3f, good to soft; first two 5l clear) on last two outings; keeps on finding more, and it's rash to say he can't do it again, but 9lb rise demands it for sure.

Well-related gelding who has done well since switched to handicaps, winning on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in January and going close at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's an interesting contender at this new trip; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Often front-runner; four wins over about 1m this year and twice runner-up (Epsom and Chester) in quick succession when stepped up to 1m2f in June; kept on well under usual rider Rose Dawes last time and this trip is unlikely to be an issue, but further improvement is needed for sure.

Usually ridden by Rose Dawes; won four of seven handicaps, all once visored, including from the front over 1m at Bath (good to soft) and Doncaster when returned to turf; helped to set a strong gallop when fifth of ten at Haydock latest but he needs to resume improvement and this new trip is not sure to help.

Built on earlier promise to land 1m2f Bath novice on his return but came in last of six on his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f) later in April; needs to bounce back.

Made most when winning at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) in April but he didn't see out that trip so well in handicaps after and the return to 1m, with a tongue-tie added, was a better fit for him at Windsor recently; still has potential despite 6lb rise.

1m2f novice winner in April; rather disappointing afterwards but he was then well backed last time at Ayr (1m2f) and beat all bar an Ed Walker improver; 2lb higher with a tongue-tie added and firmly enters the reckoning; should be fine back at 1m.

Won at Bath (1m, good to soft) last September on the first of his four starts; prominent long way and took a bump in the closing stages when fifth of six in a hot race for handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time, which was his highest rating and he can probably do better still.

Yet to pose a serious threat this season and unproven at the trip, but he kept on well for fifth in a hot race at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago, and he didn't run badly in a big-field 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time; not ruled out in first-time visor.

He's yet to pose a serious threat this season but has run some respectable races, as when keeping on from the rear for fifth at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and this big-field scenario and expected strong pace could see him to good effect; interesting.
