Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in his qualifying starts and was 6l third on his sole nursery start at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last September; closely-related to a French AW winner and with the yard's runners in good form, he might be capable of some improvement.

Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade.

Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a purple patch last autumn/winter, winning three out of four at one stage (5f-6f, including on Polytrack); put a lesser effort in January behind him to kick on again on his last two starts, despite not winning; same mark as when a close second at Lingfield latest; player.

Seven wins (5f/6f), the most recent at Lingfield (6f, good) last May off a 13lb higher mark than today's; below his best 13 days ago and his stamina is a concern on his first attempt over 1m.

Seven wins from 47 starts, the most recent success coming at Lingfield (6f, good) last May off an 11lb higher mark; respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago and now needs to build on that.

Form & Verdict
Showed improved form when a 6f Tapeta winner on her final start for Karl Burke in January; changed hands for £27,000 after that and resumed for this trainer from a 9lb higher mark when up in grade and fourth at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last month; more needed at this level.

Beat five others to win this race off 3lb higher last year and she chased home Powdering over C&D three weeks ago; bombed out in a better race over 7f here on Saturday but that might be best ignored; visor enlisted.
