Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 13th attempt when justifying support in a Chepstow handicap (1m, good to firm) 26 days ago; up another 3lb but that was a personal best last time and he has form figures of 22231 in 1m handicaps since April; shortlisted.

Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned.

Form & Verdict
Made a promising start in handicaps when third of nine at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last month and he looked stretched on the step up to 1m2f when a well-held third at Goodwood last time; still has potential after only five starts and he could kick on again on this drop back in trip; in the mix.

In the frame in all three handicaps, most recently when close second to Racing Demon at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; stumbled leaving stalls) last month; nudged up another 1lb for that but has big role to play here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Has a very mixed record in his eight starts but he's won two handicaps at Kempton (1m, AW) this year and was a good second back on turf at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and has claims if he can back that up.

Two 1m handicap wins at Kempton in early 2023; mostly in good form on turf since but likely to need more than his latest defeat on Tapeta, at Wolverhampton nearly two months ago (first-time cheekpieces, retained); course debut.

Can start slowly and usually comes from off the pace; won twice at Kempton (1m, AW) earlier in the year and he's reached the frame in his last three runs, including a second here (1m, good to firm) in June; still unexposed on turf and he has shaped as though this step back up in trip could suit; in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Promising fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) on his debut last October but he's struggled there in both runs since including on his return three weeks ago; still early days but he's not really settled in his last two starts and has a bit to prove back up in trip on handicap debut.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Faye Bramley

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.

Form & Verdict
Had three runs last season and she wasn't beaten far over 6f at Goodwood (good to soft) in her last two starts; steps up 2f in trip for handicap debut but she's a half-sister to a 1m Listed winner and looks on a fair opening mark; one to keep an eye on.
