Form & Verdict
Very useful 6f gelding whose last two performances suggest he's perhaps ready for this drop to 5f; may yet tap back into the progress that culminated in Mill Reef success at Newbury (good to soft); leading player, even with 5lb penalty, on return from another layoff.

Won 6f Group 2 as a 2yo (good to soft) and scored in this grade at Sandown (5f, good) in June, after a break; carries 3lb penalty in stronger race today but could still have untapped potential back over this longer trip; shortlisted.

Impressive at Beverley (5f, soft) last September on sole 2yo start and readily justified odds-on favouritism in four-runner Pontefract novice (6f, good) last month; this is a steep rise in grade but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie; she's one to consider.

Hello Youmzain filly who created an excellent impression when making a winning debut in 5f Beverley novice in September, drawing clear last 1f; she looks to have plenty more to offer this year and is the one to beat.

Lightly raced 3yo whose best juvenile run came on good to soft ground in a Doncaster sales race (extended 6f); back in action with a strong-finishing but luckless third of eight in a Sandown Listed race (5f, good) but he made no serious impact in a York handicap since; today's test should suit better and he's far from exposed.

2yo campaign concluded with good third in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft); just one start this year, when keeping on strongly for close Listed third at Sandown (5f, good) in June; this sharp 5f may not play to his strengths but he has a Group 1 entry and is one to be interested in.

Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; played up beforehand and withdrawn from an intended engagement at York two weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and she could do better yet.

Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; perhaps best not to take latest effort literally but in going back up just 1lb the assessor hasn't overreacted; again has frame possibilities.
