Form & Verdict
Left debut run behind when fair third at Ascot (7f, good) last month and improved again when going very close at Lingfield (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; sets the form standard and he wasn't stopping at the line last time, so there's every chance he'll stay this far.

9st 5lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Charles Hills

In good form after returning in May including wins at Newmarket (1m, soft) and Chester (7.7f, good), but out of the frame in his last three starts; may not want the ground to dry out too much and probably needs further than this now in any case.

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Charles Hills

Progressive against his own age group, winning two of his first three starts (1m, soft/about 7f, good) before having a troubled run in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; however, he wasn't the same horse at Newmarket in July and an easy 7f may be a bare minimum for him.

Form & Verdict
28-1 when a well-beaten last of six on recent debut at Newmarket (1m, good to soft); however, this well-bred colt is in good hands and should leave that initial performance miles behind at some point.

Successful in five-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last Sunday, opening his account at the 15th attempt; clear possibilities in his bid for a quickfire Scottish double.

Looked as though he might be on the way back when third of eight on return from 320 days off at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but has gone quiet again twice since; now 0-13 and hard to warm to despite dropping into a Class 6 for the first time.

Third foal; half-brother to two winners for connections, Bullace (7f-1m including 2yo; RPR 105) and Oriole (1m2f; 84); dam 7f 2yo/Group 3 winner for connections; trainer is enjoying a fine autumn with his 2yos and it will be no surprise if this newcomer plays a leading role.

Habitual slow-starter who again got going too late to land a blow when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m3f) ten days ago; the visor he wore that day is retained; has just one win from 15 goes and needs something extra.

Has had just two AW races, including when second as 2yo; sole win (13 races) came over 1m4f at Ffos Las last August off 2lb higher, on the first of two starts with a tongue-tie which returns today; not so good since, with blinkers on last two outings, but the tongue-tie might help.

Form & Verdict
Made no impact when seventh of ten at 14-1 on debut at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; improvement is needed but he's from a respected stable and his unraced dam is from a classy family.

Yet to win in 19 starts under either code but he ran well when third here (1m4f) in February off a 3lb higher mark; less good since and others have more pressing claims.
