J: David Probert

T: Harry Charlton

Well held in two 1m AW novices late last year, but is a much better performer now contesting handicaps on turf, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago (runner-up was bidding for a five-timer); much respected from 3lb higher if as effective back on Tapeta.

Ran well when upped to 1m4f at Thirsk (good) in May and has run to a similar level in both starts since, including when second of five at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip.

Eight-race maiden; second of five in tactical race at Epsom last month and didn't run badly when third of five at Doncaster (also 1m4f, good to firm) nine days later, despite racing too freely, but others in this line-up have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival in three of his four runs including when last of six on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f; cheekpieces added.

J: Cieren Fallon

Recent step up to 1m4f and fitting of cheekpieces has returned him to the level of his peak 2yo effort, and still had running left at the end of a slightly better Thirsk Class 5 than this last time; chance.

Form & Verdict
200,000gns breeze-up 2yo; well held in her first four starts but she found lots of improvement upped to 1m4f when an easy winner of a Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) last month; this is a different test on quicker ground but a 6lb rise looks fair and she's a half-sister to a Listed winner on good to firm; major player.

Came good with clearcut success at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June, her second handicap; below that form after racing too freely on latest outing but remains one to be interested in.

200,000gns 2yo who is bred to be better than this mark but she was beaten about 6l in her first handicap over 1m2f on the AW; has to improve on that effort but it's still relatively early days.
