Form & Verdict
Disappointing at Windsor on penultimate start but straight back to form with blinkers added when second of seven in handicap at Ffos Las (1m4f) one month ago; the winner poached a lead that day and this seven-race maiden should not be far away.

Big improvement last term brought two handicap wins in August by wide margins and she was third of 15 in a 1m4f Listed race at Galway in September; respectable, front-running fourth of nine in Listed race at Goodwood on reappearance, when the winner Luisa Casati beat her by just over 5l; will fare bit better if back to peak form but probably needs a career best to win.

Form & Verdict
0-4 on Flat last April-June for the Crisfords, with fair 1m2f/1m4f form though; well held in AW novice in February on sole Flat run for new connections but he did register a smooth win in novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m, good) in May; below form in a handicap hurdle since; chance on old Flat form.

Won a Ludlow novice (2m, good) in May 2022 but he's found things tough in handicaps since, including on the Flat; his last run was over two years ago and he has lots to prove after a massive absence; hood is removed and tongue-tie returns.

Novice winner but unplaced in all four handicap efforts; bang there at Ludlow in the latest of them last month but faded out of contention; tends to race too freely and another whose chance may depend on the effect of a hood (worn for the first time over hurdles).

Sole win (20 starts) was on AW in January 2021; below par last two outings but earlier form this season at 1m-1m2f could see him on the premises.

Form & Verdict
Last four seasons have yielded one win, over 1m off 1lb lower last July; started 2022 well enough and, after two poor shows, he appeared to travel best at Pontefract last week before meeting trouble in running; has plenty of 1m2f form, admittedly in 2018 and 2020 but he needs a close look.

Form & Verdict
His two wins were last May and June; return to turf this year has been unconvincing, with his second of four at Newmarket in June easily the best of those four efforts (1m; the other three were at 7f); has won over 8.6f on AW and this is his first go beyond that; bit to prove.
