J: Andrew Breslin

Lightly raced 4yo who was just denied at Newcastle (5f, AW) five weeks ago after leading for most of the final 1f; just as effective on turf, may still have untapped potential and high on the list.

Helped force a strong pace at Southwell on last month's return from 12 months off, weakening in the final furlong; should last longer today and he retains potential.

Form & Verdict
Made a promising debut when runner-up in 5.5f Wetherby maiden in June and not at all disgraced on her return when a fading fourth of six in 5f Catterick novice last month; she can take a step forward now.

J: Dale Swift

Maiden who has bits of respectable 5f form at Newcastle; gives the impression this return to 6f is worth exploring on first run since wind surgery; one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Only modest form shown in three runs as a juvenile, fifth of nine in 6f Ripon novice in August; in good hands but needs a gelding operation to spark major improvement.

Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid.

Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again.

Sister to multiple 5f winner Atiyah (RPR 86) and closely related to 5f-9.5f GB/Belgian/German winner Frosted Lass (RPR 61); dam, 5f winner (RPR 85), is out of a half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Mixed Blessing; the market can prove a good guide for this Swiss Spirit filly.
