Form & Verdict
Well backed when a beaten favourite on Newmarket debut (6f, good to soft; fifth of 14) and essentially regressive since, although was probably out of his depth on first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam in the Tattersalls October Auction Stakes (19th of 22; 25-1); this race represents an easier option.

He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance.

Showed ability when placed on Windsor debut (6f maiden; good to firm; 9-1) last month; should benefit from that experience, but how he'll cope with this projected softer surface is a complete unknown; stablemate of Pannonica.

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye when runner-up on debut at Ascot (6f novice, good; 25-1, form has substance); probably a shade disappointing that he couldn't justify favouritism at Wolverhampton (7f) subsequently; sets the benchmark though, with the caveat that further rain might not necessarily suit.

Placed in soft ground at Bath (5.5f) on penultimate start, but has had more opportunities (now 0-6; running to a peak RPR of just 57) than the remainder, so it would come as a major surprise if he's the solution; look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Fared much better on her second start at Salisbury (6f, fillies' novice, good) when a close fifth to stablemate Yeah Nah; ran to a similar level of form next time at Newbury, and this is undoubtedly a less competitive contest; market helpful in relation to stablemate Daaoye.
