Form & Verdict
His last win was in April 2021 but that was off 22lb higher and he's been placed in two of his last three runs including when third at Kempton (1m, AW) last week; that was eyecatching after a slow start and he has possibilities back on turf; effective on fast and soft ground.

Two 1m turf wins for previous trainer in the summer but no strong signs since, for that yard or current one, that he was about to break his AW duck; ran respectably in blinkers in 2021, first-time cheekpieces today.

Two 1m wins on soft this summer; not discredited in midfield at Chelmsford (didn't get a clear run) this month and contested a voided race 13 days ago; changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales last week; considered but he's made far less of an impact on AW than turf.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 12 starts but that came at Bath (1m) in May and he's finished runner-up in four of his five runs since including at Epsom (1m2f) last time; seems ideally suited by good or slower ground and he should go well again back in trip.

Form & Verdict
His last four wins have come at this track, including two over C&D (soft) in April; made another bold bid when a close third here (1m2f, good to firm) on his stable debut in May but his spark was missing back over C&D last time; new headgear now goes on and he needs to get back near his best.

Form & Verdict
Has been beaten around 6l at 16-1 or bigger in three novice events but she shaped with promise when a staying-on fifth at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; should have more to offer now switched to handicaps and she's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard.

Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer.
