Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in two visits to Salisbury (6f; good to firm then good) but it didn't look a strong race two weeks ago and the time was slow (they went no pace); on the upside, he did defy a penalty and Ryan Moore has a good record for the yard (10-34).

Made all in very valuable auction race as a juvenile but winless since taking Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy six weeks later; looked to be rediscovering his level when third on AW in March and it was a solid fifth of 18 behind Royal Velvet (declared for preceding Group 3) at Newmarket (7f, good) last time; if the stands' rail proves the place to be this could be the day to revert to forcing tactics; interesting.

Yet to match his 2yo best (included big sales race and Listed wins) but he's only had eight subsequent starts and latest third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) four weeks ago was a firm step back in the right direction; same mark and there's a suspicion he could be on the way back; player if so.

Had a subsequent Listed winner well behind when making a successful debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) and, although disappointing next time in the Listed National Stakes (5f, good), his high draw was no help; off since May, though, and jockey bookings would suggest that he's down the Hannon pecking order.

Similar form in his three defeats over 6f and will need to be all the better for being gelded and the application of cheekpieces if he's to threaten on these terms.

Not much luck round Chester since switched to blinkers, being drawn wide in June and then having his jockey lose an iron soon after the start last time; is 3lb lower than when winning a Polytrack nursery last October; one to consider.

Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last October; hasn't progressed this year, with newly applied blinkers seemingly not yielding initial improvement over 6f here (good; sixth of 12) last month; 2lb lower, and much better drawn on this occasion, so can potentially sit handier; possibilities.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Hugo Palmer

Caused a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Lingfield (7f, AW) last October but he's not gone on from that and has been beaten 7l on Tapeta and turf in last two runs; continues to edge down the weights but he needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Twice placed over C&D and he was reversing placings with Twilight Romance when narrowly getting the better of that rival at Pontefract (6f, good to firm), albeit in receipt of 4lb; these terms are tougher but he's one of the few in here with Group-race entries.

J: Jack Callan

Often leads; first two wins on turf (6f/5f; good to firm) but better on AW and it's a long time since he showed much on grass; slow to find form on sand over the winter but he's dropped a few pounds now back at 5f; one to keep an eye on for yard that has won two of the last nine runnings.

Quite impressive in sweeping aside We Never Stop over C&D in June (good to firm) and lost nothing in defeat to the same rival at Pontefract, where he was conceding 4lb and not helped by his track position; shortlisted.

He had been threatening something bigger earlier in the year and things finally clicked when the well-backed winner of a Leicester handicap three weeks ago (6f, good); hasn't been missed with a 6lb rise but there aren't many pace influences in the field and he should go very well again.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John & Sean Quinn

Hadn't been enjoying the rub of the green on AW and a change of tactics was employed at Newmarket 11 days ago (hood left off); unable to sustain the strong pace on that occasion but this is weaker and he has the assistance of Oisin Murphy in the saddle for the first time; faster ground in his favour too so there are grounds for optimism.

Remains a maiden after five runs and is held by Twilight Romance and We Never Stop on their course clash in June; signs of progress when second in a Carlisle novice that's worked out really well but Ayr last time was disappointing even allowing for the longer trip (7f).

Only 1-7 overall but she was best of the rest behind Lowther favourite Relief Rally in the Super Sprint and then didn't get much luck in a strong conditions race at Glorious Goodwood; on the downside, this will be her first time over 6f and Sean Levey, aboard for all bar one of her runs, jumps ship to Persica.

Never counted on his Leicester debut (7f) but was a different proposition altogether when turned out three days later last week at Salisbury where he hosed in by more than three lengths (6f, good); slow to break in both those runs and wouldn't want to repeat that trait here, but the stable has won five of the last seven renewals of this race and he looks their number one.
