Form & Verdict
Camelot colt; left 2yo form behind when upped-in-trip for handicap debut at Windsor (11.5f, good; 7-2) last week, galloping on willingly to score by 1.25l; the one to beat carrying 6lb extra with the promise of better.

Two wins for Charlie Johnston in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; mixed form since and may be better for the run after 301-day break; refused to enter stalls on intended reappearance.

Dual winner last year for Charlie Johnston, also a 2m second on AW last December; best effort for this yard came when runner-up at Beverley (1m4f, good) in May but he's struggled in four starts since; steps back up in trip with a revival needed.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Lingfield (Class 6, 17-2; Rubio De Oro fourth) over three weeks ago; raised 3lb since (manageable), although the change of headgear - visor (fitted again) instead of cheekpieces - comes as a slight surprise; merits respect.

3 yo Filly

OR: 58

Form & Verdict
Failed to stake a claim in four juvenile starts (all over 6f), showing a glimmer when fifth of seven at Catterick (50-1); is bred to be suited by middle-distances - dam was a 1m4f winner - so she's far better equipped for this handicap debut; lacks the benefit of a recent run though.

Stepped up from 6f to 1m4f on her handicap debut when third here last month; below that form when eighth at Lingfield (1m4f) last time; first-time blinkers are now applied and she steps back in trip; something to prove.

J: Jack Gilligan

Short of pace over 6f last term; fared better (finished about 3l behind race-fit Publicity) when upped to 1m4f at Wolverhampton on handicap/seasonal debut and should build on that effort; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Immediate improvement once upped-in-trip, making a winning start over C&D (Class 6, 100-30; from a 4lb lower mark) in February; slightly below that level subsequently though, and has some work to do with Arch Legend on a strict line through Cock And Bull.

Two turf wins, which came last June and at Doncaster (1m4f, good) almost exactly one year later on penultimate start; two seconds earlier this year but she needs to bounce back from a poor show here (1m3f; co-favourite) six weeks ago.

Eight-race maiden; recent form figures (3334) read slightly better than worth; continues to ease in the weights though and is now 4lb better off with Publicity (for 2l) from last time; improvement required.
