Form & Verdict
Nothing exciting last season but gelded prior to his handicap debut and wasn't unfancied at 7-2 when overhauled late on by a stablemate of Cracker Star; turned out quickly off the same mark and must go well.

Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow.

Form & Verdict
Gelded after last season and, at 4-6, was notably strong in the market for his handicap debut over 1m2f at Lingfield where the winner got first run; up 3lb but breakthrough looks a matter of time.

Sole win from 14 starts came at Bath (1m4f, good to firm) last June on his final start for Richard Hughes; failed to make an impact in four starts over hurdles for Harry Derham and he's struggled in three outings since joining this stable; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Came clear of the remainder in chasing home a Gosden favourite (beaten since) on her handicap debut over C&D in February; positively ridden then and has solid claims off just 2lb higher.

Four wins for Andrew Balding (including over C&D) but was pulled up on hurdling/stable debut in June and has finished tailed off back on the Flat (2m) in last two runs; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival.

Second to Moel Arthur over C&D in January (trained by Andrew Balding) and 3lb better off with that rival today; jumped poorly on her stable/hurdle debut at Stratford in June and then tailed off at Kempton (2m, AW) seven weeks ago; better than that but she does have something to prove for now.

Didn't take to hurdling on stable debut at Stratford three weeks ago but she ran some good races on the Flat earlier in the year for Andrew Balding and is not ruled out now back in this code.
