No significant impact in his three runs for this yard, although he wasn't beaten far on second occasion; attractively weighted on lots of Irish AW form, so needs a close look; market reference recommended.

T: Jim & Suzi Best

Always behind on last month's stable debut (5f) but wasn't beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a fortnight later; needs to make further progress here but should be fine over this trip and is attractively weighted on best Irish form; market reference recommended.

Hit the frame in a Down Royal maiden on her second start but hasn't built on that twice since; closely matched with Distillate on latest outing; seems on a tough mark for handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Improving with every run and his best effort yet when fifth of eight (only beaten roughly 3l) at the Curragh last time; drop to 5f not certain to suit and mark possibly on the high side but could be involved if he progresses again with first-time blinkers on.

dwelt start, towards rear but in touch with leaders, headway after halfway, went third when ridden over 1f out, soon edged right, kept on but no impression inside final furlong, no match for first two

Form & Verdict
Promising debut and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when beaten roughly 3l in a Cork maiden 10 days ago; her two best efforts have come on good and this looks a stiff mark for handicap debut.

Progressed to hit the frame at 33-1 at Tipperary on her third outing but didn't build on that at Bath last time; not sure to appreciate softer ground but workable mark on peak form.

Effective on fast and soft ground; well handicapped on her two 5f wins last summer but she's been out of sorts in four runs this season; has won here in the past but she needs to turn things around back at this track.

Won twice last summer and is 1lb lower than for the latest, but she is yet to get going in three starts this season (underwent wind surgery before latest outing); needs a resurgence.

Form & Verdict
Good run when beaten roughly 3l on debut in March but too keen on her second outing and looked outpaced here last time; her dam loved soft ground and first-time blinkers might help so not one to dismiss on handicap bow.
