125-1 for a C&D novice (soft) two weeks ago and she was never involved before finishing a well-held fifth of 11; ran green in that race but she needs plenty of improvement to make an impact here.

Bred for speed and showed plenty of it when making all at Windsor (5f, soft) last spring; went down narrowly in Newbury Listed race in the summer but her two efforts since have been underwhelming; needs to have come on a ton since her reappearance run but that's not out of the question.

Exceed And Excel colt; first foal; dam 6f/7f winner (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 106), half-sister to winners Dibayani (7f 2yo/1m3f Listed) and Dirar (useful 1m-1m6f Flat and 2m-2m4f hurdle); plenty to like on paper and he's an interesting newcomer for powerful yard.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

Ready winner of a C&D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company.

5-19; creditable fourth in Listed races last two starts, not beaten far at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest; should give his running again but quite a few of these have more obvious claims on the figures.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Steadily progressive 5yo, including two 7f handicap wins last year; took form to a higher level when fourth of 15 in a Listed race at Deauville (7.5f) in December, never far away in a race where the pace held up; should have another big run in him.

Last run: 16 days

W: 9st 7lb

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Profitable colt who is a half-brother to useful 10.3f winner Entropy (RPR 99); 15-8 for a six-runner maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good) 16 days ago and he finished well to score with authority over his main market rival; that was a bright start and he's a major player again under a penalty.

Both wins on good ground, latest at Bath (5.7f) in May during a consistent spell; form dipped in last three runs, latest with tongue-tie applied (retained); needs to rebound.

Both wins on good ground, latest over C&D in May during a consistent spell; form dipped the last twice; chance of rebound depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie.

Has been placed on soft but both wins on good, most recently at Bath (extended 5f) in May; mostly consistent otherwise but he was nowhere near his best at Brighton recently so that needs overlooking.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Out of a half-sister to a smart 2yo sprinter but he didn't live to market expectations when a remote seventh of nine at Beverley (good to soft; 9-2); should know much more this time but he needs a transformation on his second start.

Well below market expectations on his 5f debut here in the spring and has since finished a remote last in two more runs; first-time headgear, the stiffer test and a gelding operation are the angles in with him.
