Form & Verdict
More exposed than his rivals but he's on a competitive mark and ran right up to his best when second of six in a Wolverhampton nursery 11 days ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on his one 7f run (bad ground) and he's likely to make another bold bid.

Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up.

Maiden (0-13); regularly placed (5f-7f); hasn't been at his best in three runs this year, although there were some mitigating circumstances at Salisbury (6f) last time; others preferred.

Whiff of promise in two Yarmouth runs last month but he was a remote tenth of 12 on his nursery debut at Newbury two weeks ago (7f, good); this is weaker but others might prove better treated.

Yet to get his head in front but he arrives in decent nick in nurseries, third of seven at Yarmouth (7f) three weeks ago; he ought to be in the shake-up off a 4lb lower mark.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly but picked up cheaply at the sales in July on the back of one poor run in Ireland; stuck to her task well when second of nine in a Chester novice (7f, good to soft) ten days ago; more to come now handicapping at a low level.

Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs.

Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat.

Some promise on his debut in July (6f, good) but backward steps in two runs since; not bred to need this trip but he makes his nursery debut at a realistic level.
