Form & Verdict
Down the field in sole 2yo start but she's shown promise in her three runs this year; never got involved when fifth behind Moondial on her handicap debut at Epsom (7f, good) last month but she missed the break and was beaten only 2l in the end; still has potential for top yard and she's in the mix.

Has won three of her last eight starts and she found more progress with her brave win at Epsom (7f, good; Turquoise Diamond fifth) last month; that was in a tight three-way finish but she's only 1lb higher here and should make another bold bid.

She's fully 8lb lower than when winning at Epsom (7f, good) last August but for good reason, having been unable to get competitive this year; the first-time blinkers need to prompt a major revival.

All four wins have been over 7f and latest was over C&D (good to firm) last summer; 0-11 since then but he's reached the frame in four of his last five runs and is now 5lb lower than for that last success; dangerous back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Made a good start for current yard when runner-up at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June but he failed to back that up at Lingfield before virtually refusing to race at Thirsk ten days ago; has plenty to prove again and he's now 0-13.

Regressive gelding who hasn't won since his 2yo days and doesn't strike as the easiest; has been running well of late and will be happier back up from 6f, so holds each-way claims in an open handicap.

1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip.
