Form & Verdict
Consistent and improved for last month's return from a break when second of five in Chelmsford maiden on Monday; however, he's had plenty of chances now in similarly weak maiden/novice company; the hood applied last time is left off.

6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.

6f win at Newcastle off this mark in November; not beaten far over 5f back at Newcastle on Tuesday; ability to feature and Billy Loughnane a positive booking for the yard (four wins and five placed runners from 15 rides).

Form & Verdict
Said to have stopped quickly over 7f on his handicap debut last time and the return to sprinting ought to help; he's ultimately been disappointing since running way above market expectations on turf in the summer, however.

Won a C&D handicap last month but twice a beaten favourite in classified events here shortly afterwards; had a short break since but he has more to do off his revised mark; one of four runners for Tony Carroll.

Better than the bare result (met traffic issues late on) in similar event on Monday when bidding for a quickfire C&D double; can be treated as still in form; enters calculations.

Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing a C&D handicap (4-1) last Monday; has a penalty back in a classified event but that was a comfortable success last time and all of his AW wins have come at this track; key player.

Form & Verdict
220,000gns yearling who only ran once for the Crisford yard, here over 7.2f in the spring, before changing hands for 38,000gns; wouldn't be bred for this sort of test but is unlikely to be found an easier opening.

Has run twice for this yard (5f/7f) and has failed to progress from her promising debut third for the Crisfords (7f, Tapeta); however, the step up to 1m could be a big plus on handicap debut; firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Blinkers have helped and she went close three times in the autumn; was below those levels last time, however, and she needs to find more if she's to make it ninth-time lucky.
