Sole win from 12 starts was over 1m2f on AW but she wasn't beaten far on turf at Lingfield (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; that was under a prominent ride and has possibilities if she can build on that in new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Holds weak claims on his maiden/novice form (6f/7f, turf) for Jane Chapple-Hyam but combination of gelding operation, new trip, change of surface and first-time blinkers is a possible source of improvement on debut for new yard; market support should be noted.

J: Mikey Sheehy

T: John Butler

Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest.

Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

J: Neil Callan

T: John Butler

Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; ties in closely with Rising Force and Dire Wolf on creditable Kempton running (1m) last time, doing well having endured a wide trip; possibilities provided he stays this extra 2f.

Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account.
