Form & Verdict
Third on first two starts (7f, good/soft) and, having been gelded, he was beaten about 2l by Blown Away when runner-up at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time; he's 4lb better off with his conqueror on today's nursery debut and this 525,000gns yearling is open to improvement for his powerful yard.

Placed on first three starts (gelded after second) but much improved to win eight-runner nursery here (1m, good to firm) in September on final outing, always prominent and rallying extremely well; up 5lb but likely to be well suited by 1m2f+ and therefore one to note.

Form & Verdict
Below best the last twice and faded when upped to 7f on nursery debut at Doncaster a fortnight ago; however, perhaps the soft going didn't suit and he's on a competitive mark judged on his best fast-ground 6f form; pedigree indicates this trip should be within range and he's a possible.

Has run well to be placed in his last three starts since stepped up to 1m; inside draw is a positive for one who likes to be up there, but he has been edging up the weights for not winning and the return to 7f is not sure to be a plus; stable won this in 2016 and 2019.

Justified favouritism in 1m AW novice race at Kempton last week, adding to his 7f wins (seller/novice) on good ground; improving sort who is now bidding for a four-timer; possibilities if he copes with drop in trip.

Went close on nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in July then didn't appear to fail through lack of stamina when third at Kempton (1m, AW); clear with runner-up when winning at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last Tuesday and, although this is tougher, he's not discounted under a 6lb penalty.

The winner of three of four races, all at 6f, with the wins on good to firm, soft and good to soft; this is more demanding up 7lb but she was strong at the finish at Hamilton last time and today's extra yardage should suit on pedigree; may not have reached her ceiling just yet.

Form & Verdict
Kept on for promising third on the other Newmarket course (7f, good to firm) last month and did well to finish a close third on recent nursery debut at Bath (1m, good to soft) given that he hung left (perhaps because of the track) and was denied a clear run; may benefit from the first-time blinkers and could play a leading role off the same mark as last time.
